Don't guess!!!!!
Grab a multi meter and go through the charging system sticky to make sure your battery and charging system is good before you just grab your wallet and start spending money!!!!
Read through the sticky! That was awesome! I am going to try that today. Thanks for directing me to it!
Well I'm glad I read this thread. My RK eats head temp sensors like candy. 20k and I replace another one. I have NEVER seen an aftermarket one available from anyone up until I hit the link above. I hope the S&S sensor works better than the stock one did. It does look different but I bet it will work better.
Quick tip for the guy replacing the sensor: you don't have to pull the tank off to get it out. Just remove the tank bolts and lift it up out of the way. Stretch the gas line running in between the tanks up and over the coil. The rest of the job is simple. Tight in there but simple.
If you buy that S&S sensor and have trouble with it, report back to the other 1 or 2 of us here who are still running fuel injection.
Where is the best place to order? Only one I can find is the S&S part from JP Cycles. No where else seems to have it.
part number is 32446-95...boarddtracker..HD shows having a 32446-95a... http://www.boardtrackerharleyonline.com/harley-davidson/sensor-cylinder-head-temp-32446-95a?page_580440596=5 Which is just a newer version of the part list...pretty sure mine was the a version. Ordered from local Harley dealer...I would not hesitate to try the S&S version though. I would check my old one with an olms Metter and hair dryer first....may be the wiring to the sensor.

10-4 Will do, I havnt been able to find any other sensor, so I figured S&S was my only option.
