Question about oil temp....

sensors. Ive seen the kits to add a dial oil temp gauge at the case but is there a sending unit style kit out there. Seems I may end up with a few spare inches on my gauge rebuild/upgrade and figured why not?!? I just figured that since this is an air/oil cooled engine, why not monitor the oil?

Thanks in advance.

not sure what you are asking; mounting gauges on the engine beats them all to Hell.

How so Jim? It's easier to see the readout if the gauge is up near the regular instrument cluster.
 
I guess what Im asking is, is there a remote mounted gauge for the oil temp? Id assume any sensor as long as the threads are the same.

vibration beats the hell out of a gauge mounted on the engine, and looking at a lit gauge on the handle bar beats the hell out of looking at an unlit gauge under your leg.. :p

Misunderstood your comment. Thought you were saying mounting the gauge on the engine was better.

I agree, mount the gauge up top.

There are tons of aftermarket oil temp gauges available. Try google.

Not sure what you want for a gauge but vdO have descent gauges for a gs and sensors can be screwed into multiple locations
 
Yeah something small and maybe LED to match what Ive got going on.
 
Oil gauges, what a waste of time and energy. Grab the stator cover with your bare hand, if the oil's too hot you'll know it!
