What is involved in installing the oil temp guage/sensor? If you have the part numbers that would be appreciated....

I go with the theory on my diesel truck the oil temp is always close to the coolent which is engine temp. So I'm thinking the oil temp is giving an idea of what the engine temp is on the air cooled bike.

I disagree. I replaced the Air Temperature gage with the Harley Oil Temperature gage. Works great.
True, you can't trust the temperature reading to be exactly correct. But it will give you a range.
Anything was better than the Air Temperature gage that it replaced.

Replaced mine with oil temp gauge that should have been there from the factory.It's not much of an improvement but better than the air sensor.

I also got rid of the air temp gauge in favor of the HD oil temp gauge. I was surprised when I installed it. This kit had me plug the new harness into the existing harness where is was plugged into the air temp sender. Had to search for it since it was located inside the speedo pod on my Road Glide.

I moved mine down and ty-wrapped it to the brake line.
Still out of the way but got more air.... Overall lowered it about 4-5 inches
Believe it or not, mine was pretty accurate..
But I did replace it with Oil Temp
