I've been in contact with Bill/Watt-Man recently he said the Themo-Bob ver. 3 will be smaller and easier to fit on the bike. Below is part of his response to my email dated 11-2-14
Hey Scott,
I recommend it for any bike that doesn't have a factory radiator bypass, and
Kawasaki has made its share of bikes that way to cut costs.
A number of people have done Thermo-Bobs on Ninja 250s. Ninja 250s have a
single hose leaving the original Thermostat housing that heads to the
radiator with ample room, and that's where they mount the Thermo-Bob. We're
doing the new "Thermo-Bob 3" model to replace the "original" as it's 1.9
inches at the largest diameter vs. 2.5 inches for the "original" so that
even gives more room to work with.
After a little study, the Ninja 500 doesn't have enough room to install a
Thermo-Bob 3 in the line between the radiator cap/fill neck and the
radiator, so I haven't had anyone do an EX500 yet.

So I'm saving up my pennies for this in the near future, I hope.
And challenge excepted for the Ninja 500 someday, but first things first.
