The parts lady at the local dealer told me that the original number was discontinued and a new number was released however I have called 4 dealers and all have said that the newer ones are not readily available and seem to be back ordered.
I had the harley fairing oil temp gage on a 2004 Ultra Classic. From my riding position, I could not see the top of the gage, and when you read the gage...the temp number was actually not lined up with the 'dash' on the gage. When riding in stop and go traffic, my bike would go into 'parade mode'...shutting off the rear cylinder if the engine got to hot. I would check the oil temp gage and it would only show 280 or so. So to me, it is not the oil temp that matters, but the cylinder temps. I now ride a road glide and do not worry about oil temps. As long as I have oil pressure, I am good to go.
