Question for you guys that have already installed:
My SG is on order, due at the end of March, and I'm trying to get some stuff together to be installed when it comes in. That way it'll be ready to go when I come home for my 2 week vacation trip! So, I had somebody back home call the HD dealer that's receiving the bike to check on some stuff. They said don't install an oil temp gauge in the fairing, it'll jump around and drive you crazy. They suggested to get the dipstick with a gauge on it...(the MoCo's gauge, of course). So, the question: Have you guys had any problems with your gauges in the air temp slot? Any jumping or such? I noted that the magnet affected the gauge in the VM spot...
Thanks, all. Never realized it could be so much trouble to arrange to have stuff done when I'm not there. Would much rather do this stuff all me-own-self, but...
Enjoy the ride.
Gauge works fine. Just as you'd expect it to work. No "jumping" at all. Takes a while to start to register though. Maybe 8 miles or so. They could be talking about the Harley gauge. The dipstick gauge can only be seen once you're off the bike. That may be a good thing. Sitting in traffic in Daytona last year I was fixated on watching the oil temp creeping up...and up...and up!
I just installed the Hogtune speakers on my 05 Ultra. They have much larger magnets than the stock speakers. After installation I fired the bike up and have had no problems with the gauges jumping around. I have the oil temp. gauge installed on my bike as well. It is in the air amb. temp gauge slot. So, I am happy to say no problems here.
Thanks, guys! That settle any concerns I had. Clock is ticking down on the delivery, I was able to get the VIN the other day, the bike is just about ready to leave the factory. Kinda funny to be counting the days, though, since I'm not gonna see it until the end of May anyway!!! Ah, well, it'll be cool knowing it's waitin' on me...

I'm still a little confused. The picture you showed of yours which is the spun aluminum matches the screaming eagle gauges. So which of the bottom three do you have?
I have a Street Glide which has the silver gauges, so which one of these would match my gauges?
Also where do you mount he sending unit?
I just got my gauge and the P/N #GK-61537A is the correct gauge to match the Spun Aluminum Screamin Eagle gauges.
