Help please..

2008 Mastiff

The previous owner had installed a fueling oil pressure gauge on the bike. Well It fell off off the bike going down the road and blew oil everywhere. The threads must have vibrated loose.

What was modified to install this? I'm fine with not having the gauge, if I can just put a bolt in there?

This is the part that fell off FUELING

What kind of locktite can I use if I buy another one of these to install?

If you dont want another gauge simply unscrew both parts, adapter and sensor(remove wire from oil pressure sensor first) and just put the oil pressure sensor back in. It will screw into the same hole, as it came stock. Easy peasy. Save the adapter in case you wanna put in a gauge later.

Thanks. I think I might go ahead and get a new gauge. Since that area gets so hot, what kind of lock tite is good to use when putting a gauge back in there?

Red is as good as you can get. Not sure if you wanna go that secure. Blue will probably do fine. If you can go over the bike n ck for loose shit, you will save urself headaches down the road, well mostly. Stuff always happens.

They now make loctite ORANGE -- Holding power close to red but meant to be removed like blue.
There is also a special high temperature locking thread compound (not by loctite -- will have to check it later as I have some.)

Ok got the new gauge in, just trying to figure how it goes on with all this stuff in the way. I thinking there is something I need to adjust to get it in there.

So what is this bottle of loctite - green, I have for?

I used a 45 degree elbow to extend the gauge away and to adjust my sight line to the gauge while riding - hope that helps

Thats one way to do it. I dont know if anything is still available but, there is a steel braided line that will run up to the rockerbox cover and the bracket mount will hold the gauge and mount to the corner of the rockerbox cover.

Get the adapter to put it in the tappet screen hole, so it is pointing upward, so you can see it
Someone show him a picture, my phone is screwed up so I can't find folders of pictures

don't believe this is available anymore -- although not hard to fabricate.
I'm going to need to do 2 of them this winter.

Thanks guys.

Another thing i noticed is the adapter that is currently on my bike will let you turn it back and forth. I'm not sure if its made to be that way or if its suppose to tighten all the way down?

Yeah, If anyone has a link to this, that would be great.

maybe this one would work better, the threaded part sticks out of the bottom of this one

I think I found it. https://wildsteedworx.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=958

with this one I would put my oil pressure sensor back to stock, and then just put this in tappet hole and attach gauge to it, right?

Yup

 

[Mastiff1776]

Is this the tappet hole on the 117? I just take that bolt out, and leave the spring and filter and put the adapter for the gauge on there?

 

[knothead]

Thats correct

Got new parts ordered. Hopefully these fit without running into anything.
