Default Where to get analog oil temp dipstick

Looking to grab one of these. Looked at a few sites, but no luck.
Even the Harley site only shows the digital LCD for my 2016 FXDF.

Any where else to look.

Thx

I don't think there is an analog one that works with a Dyna.

I tried to find one for my 11 Road King a few years ago. Never did find one. From what I have read the readout on the digital can be pretty flakey..

Stop by the Dyna Glide Models Forum, we have a good time in there

I have the JES black water filled gauge in my Softails. Very high quality. The only minor issue is that if its in the sun on humid days you can get condensation in the gauge. I take the gauge off and shake it and the condensation is gone. This happens maybe once a year. Ron

If you get one, you may just creating something to worry yourself about. Yes the oil can get very hot.

Oil filled, water filled, air filled? Which one and why? Can I assume the oil filled has a wider temperature range? They all seem to have the same +/- accuracy claim...

There are none that are filled with water (water would freeze), if they are filled with a liquid it's oil. The purpose of an oil filled gauge is to dampen the affects of vibration of the bike on the gauge mechanism, oil filled gauges tend to last much longer than non oil filled ones in areas of high vibration.

The water filled that I mentioned is actually "air filled" but has a clear liquid in the gauge. If you go to the JES website, it explains the difference between air and oil filled. Oil filled costs a bit more and takes longer to heat up (but no condensation). Ron
