Pino, it'sAP 21-GK61537A . You will see that it replaces the gauge on the SE. They are spun Aluminum and have the orange light to match the spun aluminum ones you get from HD. Bought mine from Wallys also.37A

RE: oil temp gauge
The Hogtunes are money well spent, easily installed in minutes.
Taking the fairing off, isn't a huge deal, it's not even a big deal once you do it a couple of times.
If you don't havea service manual, get one.
Best investment you will make.
When you are reassembling the fairing, remember the screws are going into brass inserts in the plastic. Never force them,they will screw in easily or you are cross threading them.
When they get to the end, snug is all you need. Don't really torque on the screw driver.

I just installed the HD unit in my 06 EG Classic today. A little common sense and patience will get you thru it. Like most of the others here, I opted for the oil pan installation. I went to NAPA and bought a brass bushing #3220 x 6 x 2 and some red loctite hi-temp. I drained my oil into a clean container and went out for the parts while it drained. I wanted a clean, dry seat when I reinstalled the bushing with loctite on it. I just worked on the gauge part of it until the crank was empty.
I didn't bother routing the wire up thru the tank either. I went to the right side of the frame and ran it along the clutch cable up into the fairing. I used the power feed (orange) and ground (black) from the air temp gauge. I just used the yellow and black wires from the sensor. I tossed the extra orange and black from the oil gauge harness. I cut the wires from the air temp gauge connector and installed the ring terminals to the orange (power), yellow (sensor) and 2 black ground wires, one from the sensor and the other the actual ground from the temp gauge. Feed your wires thru the opening and attatch them to your gauge. Then put the gauge in place from the dash side.
When you install the gauge I recommend that you remove the fuel gauge and the horizontal brace that attatches just under the speaker. It helps a lot. You have to use the bracket that comes with the kit to install the gauge. Make sure that you line it up upside down.
If you want you can PM me for my cell and I can talk you thru it or answer any questions you might have.

I just purchased an oil temp gauge. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to remove the plug from the oil pan????? I've heard that they are installed at the factory with red loctite.

Also,I routed the sending unit wire under theconsole instead of removing the tank. Much easier than removing the tank and if you route it carefully, and zip tie it to the wiring running from under the tank to the fairing, it's hidden pretty well.

Heat gun on the bolt to soften up the locktite. Or hot engine. Just take it slow - if it don't want to move don't force it. But, I used a heat gun (used for stripping paint) and about 60 seconds - keep moving the gun around so you don't focus on just one spot). Should do it.
