I just installed one two weeks ago, the instructions said to use the air temp harness at the gauge end. The sensor wire connects to the 107 connector (air temp sensor). You unplug the air temp sensor and plug in the wire from the oil temp sensor. The trick was to find the 107 connector. On my Road Glide, it was burried inside the speedo/tac housing.

i like the fact that the oil guages can be near eachother, i know that i would like to look in one location and see the temp and the pressure. on my softail i have the pressure guage sitting just above the points cover and it can be a pain in the **** to reach around to check pressure while riding.

This part number is for the SG oil temp gauge with the silver face. The black face gauge is part# 75265-04A and it comes with a (metal) bracket. I didn't use the bracket. I used the plastic one from the useless air temp gauge and I relocated the voltmeter where the air temp gauge was so that the 2 oil gauges are together on the right side.

I know, old thread, but for anyone here that has installed the silver face oil temperature gauge, I seem to remember some sort of issue with either the fitment into the panel or some other sort of inconstancy compared with the other factory silver face gauges. I was thinking maybe something about the color of the gauge at night, but wouldn't I use the existing light bulb from the ambient air gauge? I can't remember what the issue or concern was... it's a drag to get old.
At some point I'm going to install the silver face gauges I already bought and thought I would add the oil gauge at the same time. I know some people take issue of the point of the oil temperature gauge but I think it's still better than the silly ambient air temperature gauge.
Once installed, does is look exactly like the original OEM silver face gauges?

The 107 connector for my '09 Ultra was located on the left side of the steering head tucked in amongst the wiring harnesses. On the steering head you will see a small black box mounted with a cable attached to it...that is the 107 connector (if I remember correctly). Just unplug the cable from the black box. I hope this helps.

Yes...plug and play...locate the air temp sensor, remove the cap and plug the oil temp sending unit to it.
