Got a cooler, lost the oil pressure sensor

[Carmine]

I saw this setup and had to put down a bid:

It's for my 1980 GS750.

I noticed, though, that it doesn't have an oil pressure sensor on the cover. Now that I'm about to give the bike more places for its oil to leak out, I feel that I should have some sort of warning system.

What do you suggest?

That type of oil cooler doesn't bolt up to the oil sensor. The oil lines screw into the cover that goes over the oil filter. You simply replace your oil filter cover with the one that's attached to the oil cooler.

The oil pressure switch on his model has it on the cover.

I suppose you could drill and tap a hole for it in the center.

Or you could get an oil pressure gauge from me. (shameless sales pitch) :-D

Carmine, Bruce is right. You hafta lose your oil pressure sensor with this setup. His pressure gage would work for you though. I showed it to you on my bike. But HEY BRUCE, Carmine has a different port location on his motor. Do you have a setup for him?

By the way, this oil cooler rig is first timer's auction.

Like this?

[Tom MLC]

Uh...maybe. I don't recall it being that low. I'll check it out on Sunday. Unless Carmine can post a pic before then.

Oh so you're the guy who has those! That's way cool and I'd love to sport one, but I actually prefer a gauge or light up on the handlebars. I like the idea of tapping a new hole in; a friend of mine offered me some shop time and I think I'll take advantage of precision instruments for this one.

Tom, as you can see, it's a late night for me. But I've got lots of time to get the necessary shopping done. I mentioned the carb setup to another rider and he suggested RTV to seal around where the intake hoses clamp on. Is this worth trying?

[Carmine]

Oh damn, I got sniped.
Not that I was willing to pay much more than a hundred bucks.
