Default Oil Temp Guage

I removed the worthless air temp gauge on my 00EGC and installed a oil temp gauge. If anyone has done the same what oil temp are you running rolling down the highway, let's say on a 80 degree day? Thanks.

Mines at 215 to 220. Right now in the cool spring air both bikes are at 200.

My 07 RG runs 230+ sometimes hits 240, I haven't had it during the hot summer months.
