Who says these bikes aren't smart.

[jdracing]

Don, where in the oil pan are you talking about mounting it with a reducer?  At the drain plug--or somewhere else?

By the way, thank you for the information on the gauge, Grover.

[jdracing]

Thanks Don.  If you had just said that it's the plug right below the dead cat, you could have saved yourself the trouble of posting the picture.  I appreciate it though.

the plug in question is a 3/8 NPTthe sending unit will most likely be eiter 1/8 NPT or 1/4 NPT either adapter can be found at your local home improvement store

Naitram/Twolane - thanks for the info on the oil pan and that guide for dummies...relocating the sending unit to the underside with a reducer should work well.  The only other option I can think of would be tapping into the feed line that exits the oil filter body and goes into the oil cooler.  Yet another HD roadblock solved by you guys! - PJ

Hey there guys. I picked up the new gauge today . .........................................................
[highlight]Then I'm gonna send the temp gauge to Big Daddy...It seems like he really feel left out & wants one [/highlight][smiley=huepfenlol2.gif]

Take care,

Grover

Awww Grover thanks for looking out for me.As you know my scoot doesn't have a dash so I will mount it to the tank or fender maybe. [smiley=huepfenlol2.gif]

Do I detect a little "gauge envy"

[ridefar]

The big question from the peanut gallery: does the guage work with a reasonable degree of accuracy? Maybe compared to the LED dipstick, realizing of course different sensor locations. I'll buy the beer for the first user(guinna pig) that responds. [smiley=drink.gif]

Wouldn't the 3 guages from 3 differnet bike look more like this [smiley=nixweiss.gif]

 [smiley=ROFLOL.gif] [smiley=ROFLOL.gif] I think you are absolutely correct.

[The Mysterious Q!]

Damn you guys are killing me. [smiley=huepfenlol2.gif]

[WFP]

I hope the temp gauge is wrong 'cause it was reading 30

[porthole]

and bent the hydraulic line to "adjust" for whatever spacing needed to be gained.

[Twolanerider]

The hydraulic line is just a minor "in the way" issue and does not have to be modified - bent. You just have to wiggle the cover in.

The problem with the cover is that you cannot get the trans dipstick out with the cover on.

I have it, and it is not a big deal. Whenever I change the tranny fluid I remove the cover for a couple of days until I am sure the fluid level is correct. After all, the bikes don't "use" trans fluid, unless there is a leak, and then
