i have an 07 Streetglide with 29,000 miles on it, just recently it has begun to "PEG" out in the 120 degree position instead of the usual 80-90 give or take. has anyone else had this issue and is it a must to be fixed. mine will most likey be fixed under extended warranty, but is it truely needed. i hear harley makes a kit that replaces it with an actual
"OIL TEMP" readout. thanks for any and all help guys...oh and Gals.

 

I've found that gauge pretty useless myself. I've been thinking about replacing it with the oil temp gauge.

 

I never even look at that gauge, as I agree that it SUCKS!! I am curious about the oil temp gauge though, so I will be listening for more comments on that.

 

I would have been more surprised if you said yours works perfectly.....I don't think I have ever seen one that was within 20*

 

Certanly not a "must" to fix as it's inaccurate and generally useless anyway. Many (including myself) dumped it for a useful oil temp gauge.

This is exactly what HD want us to do with it-- trash it and spend more money. You can keep the light bulb out of it for a replacement when needed though.

 

Its useless

 

So how hard is the oil temp gauge install? Is it all just plug and play, like the rest? I haven't really thought too much about it, until recently, so I haven't done any research yet. Getting tired of the useless air temp gauge though!

 

Installation is simple. I changed mine out shortly after I got the bike.

I can tell if I need a jacket or not without that damn factory gauge thanks.

 

thank u guys so much ithink im gonna ditch it for the oil temp guage.

 

Keep planning on swapping mine out for the oil temp gauge but somehow I just haven't gotten around to it.
