Yeah, mine's a little over a year & a half old. Reads 350, &
is installed on the right above the pressure guage so I can see
pressure & tempurature at a glance. Best feature is that with the
Harley card it was free................

You must have not read enough. I like the HD gauge and installation is
easy if you just go with the final solution.

Glad I could help.
Shirley, put a round for the house on my tab while we listen to him cuss
and look
for a cheater bar when he starts to remove the plug next to the drain
plug to install
the sensor. It's got red loc-tite on it but it WILL come out. I routed
my sensor wire
over to the right side of the frame, then along the clutch cable to the
inside of the
fairing, too lazy to pull the tank to run it under there. It takes about
10 miles for the oil to
warm up enough to start reading on the gauge so don't panic if you just
ride around
the block and are expecting to see something.
