Installing an oil temp gauge.
Trying to get some ideas on where is the best place to run the wires on my Ultra Classic. I would like to hide the wires best as possible. I bought one of the Rodger McEwan gauges and plan on installing it this afternoon. Have any of you put one of these on your bike and if so where did you run your wiring? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

You don't need to "run wiring"...it's already there and the instructions are very clear and easy.
Now, if you mean the wire from the sending unit...you could run it up the center tube and do a long run and hide it, but I just used cable ties and ran it along the left frame rail to the down tube and into the faring....real easy, stays out of sight and can always be replaced easily that way.

Thats the wire I was talking about. So yours is out of sight just by doing that. I was wondering if that would work or not. Which way did you go when you got up to the neck and into the fairing ? Is there someplace to hide the wire at that point? Thanks for the help.

Yeah, the sending unit wire stays out of sight (unless you are crawling under the thing looking for a wire!) and it flows right into the faring (look on the left side of yours...just cable tie it to one of the wires or cables runnin in there).
I suppose you could be real **** and take the saddle off, and do all sorts of wire channeling and hiding, but this is the easy way and should you ever need to get to it, you have access. Takes all of three minutes to do it this way.
