I would like to replace my outside temp. guage with an oil temp. guage but cannot find the gauge part number on the HD site. Does anyone know the part number to the guage and will I need any other related parts to install the guage?

 

H-D Oil Temperature Gauge - Fairing Mount 75320-05A

That number may change depending on what face color (there are 3 available) you want.

 

I'm not sure about the 09 version, but the one I installed on my 06 RG had instructions for installing it in the oil lines on the right side of the motor. I installed mine in the extra hole in the oil pan. I had to get an adapter at the automotive parts store so the sender unit could be installed there. Apparently, it provides a better temperature reading in the oil pan rather than the oil line.

 

The 09 instructions have the sensor installed using the spare plug in the oil pan.

 

Most if not all the guages are built by Rodger McEwan... I have had his in my baggers now for about 6 years and He is very easy to get on the phone and if there is ever a problem or question - you can talk right to the guy that made them... You can maybe find a better price else where on the web, I would just make sure they are his.... you can deal right with him... I do believe the contact info here is current... give him a call and ask..

I've been told that Mc Ewan is out of buisness. don't if it's true.

 

Can you still use the chrome trim rings with his gauge?

 

I ordered the oil temp gauge on 10-5-09 from LSHD its been on back order. part #75265-04A OIL TEMP GAUGE 2" BLACK . For my 2009 Tri Glide. May be the co that makes it is gone out buisness. yes the chrome trim ring will fit. Just got it delivered yesterday. Mc Ewan is still in buisness called them day before the HD one came from LSHD. Talked to Roger Mc Ewan seems like a nice guy has them in stock same day shipping.

 

It comes with everything you need to install except the fitting for the oil pan on the earlier models. It isn't immediately obvious, at least to me, from reading the numbers on the gauge as to exactly which marking corresponds with what temp. What i thought was 180 was actually 160 when i checked it with a laser thermometer.

 

Dave, are you saying the guage is not accurate? Where on the engine did you check the temp. with the laser thermometer?
