[JR03CHOPPER]

Thanks for the pic JR. Thought I missed it on your k9 in October but I see it’s the choppa. Nice looking scoot by the way.

Thanks!

Is the screen and spring still in place?

Yes

Went ahead and just mounted the gauge on the oil tappet screen, it was the easiest way to go, there was no way mounting it on the rocker box would work, hit my thigh since I have 2.5" forward controls and I am only 5'-9" l am fairly well stretched out! Thank again to HA Y N for giving me the gauge!

Looks good John. I took the plunge so if it does not work out for me, may have a post in the swap meet section

Is anyone having problems with the heat damaging the gauge?

Good question. Maybe I should’ve waited before purchasing while getting some feedback. Oh well, live and learn.

Theres quite a few people running this setup. Should be fairly easy to get some feedback.

My concern is heat coming off the metal gauge mount if it hits my thigh. May have to move it forward and swap air cleaner.

Fortunately this is a relatively inexpensive upgrade. So if the heat does get to melting or damaging the clear gauge face, it won't cost you your 1st born to replace it or relocate it.

For the guys that want to mount off the pressure switch area, you need these fittings with whatever gage you pick to mount it down low for this look. Use some white thread sealer on the threads.

How long have you had yours on the bike BWG?

3 yrs and 4000 miles

 

[Brandon Downey]

Well there's our answer. The heat clearly isn't damaging the gauge.

 

[Unsprung]

Just a legitimate excuse to change the intake

My thoughts exactly

 

[SB03chopper]

Was thinking of adding on, that set up looks really great.

 

[HA Y N]

I had a machine shop spin me up a oil temp gauge holder it work's great!

Where is it plumbed too? Tappet? My gauge kit came in today but I’m out of town and touch and go when I get back. Gone again over the weekend.

The oil temp gauge is connected to the tappet screen, But you get all the fitting's you need in the kit from jerzee.

You got it from jersee right? use the fittings it comes with and tap into pressure switch then you won't have to bother with it when changing your oil plus the tappet plug has an o ring on it no sealer required and it looks nicer imo

I was referring to the temp gauge setup, curious as to the mount area used. Thanks for the info.

Yes Jerzee. Hopefully I’ll get it done next week when I’m home.

 

[Unsprung]

Yes, got the whole kit. Haven’t seen it yet though, working away this week to meet corporate needs. Wife is threatening to put it under the tree. Lol.
