Oil Temp Sensor Installation?
Im looking for an alternate location to install my Dakota Digital Oil Temp Sensor. The location on the oil pan is used for the new S&S 124 engine that was installed. Wanted to see if I could install this at the Oil Filter location. I attached two pics of the location Im looking at. Can I use either of the two screws that are on the Oil Cooler connections at the Oil filter? Any other thoughts for install? Thanks...Rich

perhaps someone can correct me here but according to my OC diagram one of those is for the OC thermostat.
When I did my engine on my car I used a "T" fitting to get the oil pressure and temp feeds into the same hole... worked just fine for me..

With the S&S 124 crate engine installed, the engine uses that location for its external oil feed. No way to install a T in that location, so thats why Im looking for another place that others may have installed the temp sensor. Ill check with Dakota Digital and S&S to see if they have any ideas as well. Thanks...
Here's my slightly less than 2 cents worth...
Nobody has ever had an oil temp problem until they install an oil temp gauge.
You would be way better served to use the oil cooler ports for, I don't know... maybe an oil cooler.
Just sayin'

My bike already has the oil cooler installed. What I'm installing is the full 2014+ Dakota digital gauge set for a street glide. The one gauge that is part of the kit is an oil temp gauge that I'm trying to hook up. Thanks...
