Are you sure you want to know or have the oil temperature visible? it's just going to make you obsess over it. These bikes are made to run fricken hot and cool down quickly, do everything you can not to cook the engine and leave the gauges for cages. Now, get out there and ride that baby.

Ehh. ..overrated mod. Unless your bike is prone overheating, what's the point? Had it built in to my other bikes and I never look at it. If your bike is running fine...just another meter that you don't need to watch. Even with mods...
But heck...if my bike was overheating regularly or prone to it...of course , definately worth the mod. But if that was the case...I'd be buying a new bike. Lol

Thank you everyone for telling me that I don't need the gauge. I appreciate the and value the opinions but no offense that is what they are.
Perhaps wrenching on engines for over 47 years and building my share of rides including 12 cars and 14 motorcycles may not account for much but please understand I do have a reason for choosing this direction and option. Now getting back to my question does anyone know the answer or has anyone seen the late model Dyna pan off the bike and know how thick it is? The reason I ask is the other option is to simply remove the pan, drill and tap threads in for the sensor and be done. Thank you.

Yep that was my first thought however the Oil pressure port is not in the oil so the readings would be WAY off. I next looked at the fan switch location on the cooler however there is no room. Last night I looked on line and there was a photo of a 2009 Dyna pan and I saw a bung in the pan that I had not seen on mine. My bike is now loaded in an enclosed trailer so it will be difficult to see but I am going to look this morning. Thanks, Bob
