I was looking in the old posts for what the reducer (for pan install) was and couldn't find it.  The drains for dummies pic is useful.

Anyone know what the threads are? (Inner and outer?)

Also, I assumed you used a brass reducer?

Any thread sealant?

Thanks.

One more thing.  Since I'm going to put the sensor in the pan, I want to replace my oil cooler hose instead of plugging it.

Anyone have the part number on that?

Did you try this thread - Spun Aluminum Oil Temp Gaugue Just in case some of the text or pictures are missing you can still view it on the old site here - Spun Aluminum Oil Temp Gaugue. It's a long thread and I haven't looked thru it all but I believe it will have the info you need.

You'll need a 3/8" NPT - 1/8" NPT brass reducing bushing. A little thread sealant as well.

Mine works great in the pan as well.

Thanks to all for the info!

I found the hose part number to be 62641-05A.

I originally posted several months back that I was installing the Fairing Oil Temp Gauge on my bike.  It worked great when I had it on my '05 Ultra, but then again, the temp sensor was in a common sense place on that bike.  Unfortunately on the FLHTCUSE, it is installed on the oil cooler line.

I know others posted optional places to mount, i.e., underneath, etc..  But I chose to stay with the Harley recommended location in case there would be any warranty issues..

I was just wondering if anyone has one that works properly?  I ended up getting a dipstick gauge just to see how hot I was running and this weekend, I was at 270 degrees oil temp and the Fairing Gauge barely registered 110!

Does anyone know what temp the oil cooler trips to full flow?  Even when that is not full open, there should be some flow?  Correct?  It should have at least shown something closer to 200 at that temp!  I was wondering if the thermostat was bad in my oil cooler adapter..

Any thoughts?

I searched this thread just after I got off the phone with Marvin of Jagg. (I am getting a 10 row downtube mounted cooler for Kaz' sidehack equipped bike and was checking install details- i.e. will it fit)

He had an enlightening comment (which I will try to get right)

Reason the recommended oil filter adapter sensor point vs the oil pan sensor point readings are different is because the oil filter adapter point measures the oil temp BEFORE it goes to the engine while the pan measures the oil AFTER it has gone throught the engine. They will definitely read differently (and the factory wasn't so stupid after all- the actual temp of the oil GOING to the engine is probably more useful although the mounting arrangement is goofy).  However I also have the pan install and I do like to be able to 'read' worst case oil temp. It is pretty clear both temperatures will go up at the same time...

I am thinking to replace my 6 row stock low mount center cooler either with a Jagg 10 row (no chrome cover- ) Jagg unit or with the 6-row downtube mounted version that fits even with Fairing Lowers mounted (with the 'door' open.)
Stock one keeps filling up with sh*t and the chrome cover impedes some airflow anyway..

I know 2ln yelled at me for doing this but I put it inline as per the dealer. It works fine if you realize what you're reading. The temp is oil coming out of the oil cooler and mine reads about 110. It will get hot enough to read ~ 180 at times. As post elsewhere tonight, this is not scientific and non binding or fornac... never mind. 

There you go, showin your age again...

FWIW, I put mine in the pan over a month ago.  Works great

Thanks for all of the info here!
