Oil Temp Gauge for 06-later Dyna
I have been looking around on the HD sites, Ebay, etc. for a dipstick-style analog oil temp gauge for my 07 Street Bob. Just wanna have a reference point for normal oil operating temp.
HD does not "appear" to make one. Both HD and Ebay have nothing for over the 2005 year (blue LED read-out: yuk).
Anyone know of any aftermarket maker of a simple dipstick oil temp gauge?

I was at the dealership last week sometime and I noticed they do have a temperature gauge now with the housing. It is not just the stick you have to take off the housing also. It was on display at the parts counter. I guess it's so new it's not in the catalog. I didn't think to write down the number or anything. I do remember it is chrome though!

Just curious, why do you need to know what your oil temp is? And if you just want a reference, is there a way you could get a 1 time reading of the temp? Or do you want to have it as a reference and be able to check it later to make sure you aren't running too hot?
I guess I just haven't considered this. The way I look at it is, if I can't do anything to change it, why care what it is? But that's typical of me.

That makes sense, Q. I guess you're right. It's a reference point I'm looking for, then it would be just to make sure I never get much above that unless I hit adverse riding conditions. If so, I'd at least know to settle down before the temp got high enough to do any damage.

Also, in that thread, here is a quote about it: "Pass on the oil temp dipstick, doesn't work with a Sh*&! I had one and never once close to being accurate and lots of error codes."

Checked HD, and a bit of aftermarket, but I have yet to grab my J&P catalog.
