Looking for help locally for heating issue on 97 Blown Valk

[pdorman]

Having never opened or triaged a heating issue before I'm looking for someone around the Kansas City area that may be able to help.   My fluid level and condition are good, the bike will run up to 210 before fan comes on while at stop lights.  I've been directed to putting a manual switch in to try to see if helps keep it under the 200 range to find out if it may be a switch issue.  I have thought about changing out the thermostat also but have not performed that maintenance before.  The bike has just under 12k for miles.

Thanks    I live in Independence MO and would love to meet up with someone local that may have some helpful hints or suggestions.
