I know Al just ordered one from Chicago Harley. Order it, and they'll
ship it when it comes in. No sweat.

The one problem I see with the HD gauge is that it pegs out at 230
degrees. I've found my 09 Ultra normally runs at 230 or higher, even with
an oil cooler installed. My sender is installed next to the drain plug in
the oil reservoir. If you can find one of the Roger McEwan
gauge kits it pegs at 300 which is a lot more useful, IMHO.
YMMV

Oh, here's a link for the MeEwan kit, one of many.

Not sure what gauge you're talkin' about, but my Harley oil
temp. gauge reads 350. I hope it never runs that hot, but it's
there.............

I stand corrected, the HD kits on sale now are full scale at 320,
although I'm pretty sure the ones I looked at a year or so ago
were full scale lower than that. I went with the McEwan for the
lower price and the 300 full scale. Installing the sender in the
oil reservoir is a lot simpler than most of the HD recommended
locations and reads the temperature of the oil that's getting fed
to the engine. I just like to see at a glance how hot things are.
