the one for the ridgeback and pitbull are different than the mastiff and K-9 you have to get I full gauge that goes above your speedo. I was hoping to find a gauge that would going into the engine like the ridge and pit. Does anyon know if the one that goes on the pit or ridge would work on a mastiff?

I can't speak to the Mastiff but i have a K-9 that i bought the Ridgeback oil temp guage for 9.99 off e-bay. The problem with the Ridgeback gauge is it is to long (about 3/8) it will screw into the oil tank but bottom out, not tighten. SO. I went to the local hardware store and bought a rubber grommet much like the o-ring that the gauge comes with only thicker about 3/8 thicker now it will snug down:2thumbs:

thay dont go in the engine thay go into the oil tank..
I think you're talking about an oil pressure gage not the temperature gage.
I have a temp gage that screws into the filler cap, very inexpensive. Do a search on the site, There was a lot of talk of that at one time.

I got mine form the local Harley dealer. My oil tank filler cap kept blowing out, so I replaced it with a cap that had the oil temp gauge in the cap. Very inexpensive.!!

I heard the temp gauge on the pit won't clear the passenger pegs. Do you have that problem?

I don't have pegs on mine, but I don't see how it'd get in the way.

I just wanta ride
I have the pass pegs on 06 RB and the temp oil cap (BDM logo-white face) fits great but I have to remove the pass peg to fill or check oil due to cap almost touches pass peg and can't come off with pass peg on bike. Its kinda a pain but I like knowing what temp is. Temp even on hot days in the 90's runs about 200 degrees. My .02
thats what I got on my pitbull......I would think it would not fit a softail..
