Hey bbsiding,
Whatever you do DO NOT use the MOCO way of installing the temp sensor. Use the other way of installing the sensor in the oil pan. It will save you time and aggrivation. You will need to get a brass 3/8 NPT fitting from a plumbing or automotive store to reduce the connection size. My dealer gave up after two days of trying to get sensor connected the MOCO way and used the method on the link.It was done in about 1 1/2 hours.
Check the link above for detailed info and a photo of the oilpan plug.

It is now up to 18 pages of hell, but the last few pagers are the best.

They do not work go for the after market guage.

The after market I found is made by Roger Mckwan.

Oh yeah, a bunch of us had those in hand also.  They were released before HD released their version.  Some kept them and some sent them back when they weren't the close visual match they were supposed to be either.

It's a useful instrument to have.  Certainly of greater utility than the rain gauge.  But on a bike that's as nice as these are it quite frankly is a sophomoric (at best) that multiple manufacturers can't get it completely right but are willing to put the product on the street anyway.

[Twolanerider]

Hey, by the way, does anyone know for sure if McEwan had actually gone out of business or not?  I remember some months after his gauge was released all the sudden no one could contact him at the known prior phone numbers.  Any different news?

  hello  i  have  put  the  oil temp  gauge- fairing mounted  - on  my  bike ,  it  is  great  BUT  the  cover  over the bypass  hoses  does not  go back  on  when  you  are  done - it does not  fit ..  thanks , jeff

the allen plug in the oil pan next to the drain plug comes out and a .89 brass fitting goes in so the sensor can screw in there and make it much simplier. 3/8" to 1/4" reducer bushing from depot or lowes....

Jeff, look it over closely.  Unless the part has been updated it's still not a correct cosmetic mate.  Whomever designed them made the little gauge while looking at the speedo and tach rather than looking at the other little gauges.  Unfortunately the shape of the needle and needle stops are different for the big instruments than they are for the small ones. 

So rather than being a dead on match to the other three small instruments the new oil pressure gauge is a dead on match to the two large instruments.  And that's just the latest variation.  When it was originally released, all under the same part number, we witnessed three distinctly different versions of the gauge.  None were completely correct matches to the other instruments.  But hey, at least it means a guy had choices....

here is the latest version i found . top right guage in the faring. i put it(temp) above the oil pressure guage. needle is correct now and lighting also  but the ninny's forgot the "stop pins" for the limits.  only noticable  when machine is off..
