There might be a circulation issue with the k but with 1 cillinder and head it could work. I expect there to be impeller my self but I think the subject is worthy of debate JJH

Not lately but how many bikes could it be used on

It could be used on most bikes. The reason it isn't is because it doesn't work very well.

I moved mine under the seat before I sold the 1200GS. Made a big difference and the piping keeps the seat warm in winter.

For thermo siphon to work you need a good "head" hight of liquid and a uncomplicated path both flow and return with as few bends as possible to reduce restience to flow. You give a f as an example but the part that needs cooling in the engine is quite high and to promote a good circulation the heat exchanger(rad) would have to be too high up in the frame. JJH
