oil temp guage
Does someone make an oil temp guage set-up to replace the useless air temp guage on my 09 SG? And would an oil cooler make much difference aside from a tuner to fatten up the mix, if so whats recommended?

The HD one does not include the adapter for the oil pan, the other one does from what the picture shows.

Update.....I just bought an oil gauge kit from LSHD, part number 70900176 for $112. It includes everything you need...including the oil pan adapter.

How long did you have to wait for your gauge from LSHD? I've had one on back order from Surdyke for 6 weeks and starting to get a little pissed.

Also, here's the web site for the other gauge.......www.Parts4PowerToys.com
Cheaper then the HD one and the gauge looks like it's easier to read.

HD's gauge is easiest & can get on sale for ~$100...about 30-min install & don't have to drain oil. Sensor plugs into lower crank inspection hole (need good break wrench to loosen) & red locktite for seal. Only added guidance to make install easier is connect wires through gauge fairing hole "before" mounting...those little wires/screws are a beotch to get on, if you follow HD's crap instructions.

Must be something new. When I bought mine back in 2009, the adapter was not included.

Is it necessary to run the wire from the sending unit under the tank?

Do yourself a favor and get the HD Oil Temp Gauge. I had a gauge on my 2005 Ultra similair to the Parts4Power and when I finally decided to change over to Dakota Digital Gauges I couldn't get the brass ring out of the oil pan.

I ordered mine from LSHD a few months ago, took not quite two weeks to come in. It's a fairly easy install, but the wiring can be a little confusing. Well, if you're not paying attention.. 
Once I had it all in, done, and working, I realized I was just being a dope - you have to ground both the power and the sensor to the gauge. My opinion these should come stock. The air temp gauge is useless.
