Yup, I got this one......

Damn thing leaked oil for about a week, took it off, redit it, continued etc etc, finally ripped it off after about a week. Couldn't be dealing with it. And I know I did it right as a friend helped me install it, and he did a good job; and he's a mechanic.

Now I just got the gage on the top with no connection...... guess it looks kinda stupid now.

Then again, maybe we messed something up screwing the connection to the oil sender thingy, it's a bit finickity. Maybe if a HD dealer does it it'll work fine. Good luck.

Damn nikon, that's a real nice Gallery you got there. Great pics, you look like you spent a lot of time doing that.

Oil gauge looks good too, also looks like the line that goes down is braided, ........ much nicer than the black one from HD.

i got the HD rocker mount gauge, w/ russell steel breaded line. no leakes, looks great. got the line at JP cycles. the gauge does rub your inner knee at times. HD line is not acceptable.

I second the russell steel line. Its much better than the cheap plastic one that the harley gage comes with. Its also a little longer so you can route it so it looks nicer.
