STATUS: We now have our first 400°F/200°C oil temp gauges available. We are now also licensed resellers of Kissan and CustomDynamics lighting products. We will continue developing and/or licensing additional electrical and/or electronic products as time goes on.

400°F/200°C Oil Temp Gauges & Matching Senders for air-cooled and oil-air cooled motorcycles!
   We now have our first pair of all-weather 400°F/200°C Oil Temp Gauges & Matching Senders for use in air-cooled and oil-air cooled motorcycles, including Harley Davidson, Suzuki Bandit, Suzuki Katana (GSXF), pre-water-cooled Suzuki GSXR's, BMW's, MotoGuzzi, etc.

   What's the diff? Well, on a water-cooled motorcycle, the oil rarely exceeds about 1.3 times the temperature of the coolant, and the max temp for coolant is usually around 220° F (about 105° C) before it will boil off. In an air-cooled or oil-air cooled bike, the oil temps can easily soar to well above 300° (F) / 149°C on a hot day during steady highway cruising. Traditional oil gauges & senders on the market aren't designed to deal with 320°F or 360°F (171°C - 182°C) temperatures, nor are they designed for the type of environment a motorcycle operates in (the gauges need to be weatherproof, vibration proof, have anti-fogging displays, work in a wide variety of voltages, be reliable for years on end, AND have tiny senders that won't interfere with the narrow spacing in most motorcycle oil pans so they don't hit the oil pick-up unit). We're filling that niche!

 
TECH SPECS:

• Display Range: 150 - 400 °F (65 - 200 °C). Both Fahrenheit and Celsius are displayed on the face.
   
• Dual-lense Design: Anti-fogging, weather-proof, quick disassembly for cleaning if necessary.
   
• 2 Dial-Faces Available: White Type on Black Background, or Black Type on White Background.
   
• Vibration Stabilized: Needle won't jump or quiver in response to vibration of the motorcycle nor RPM-related voltage changes.
   
• Analog Gauge: Does not distract from road by overwhelming your perception with a flashing display.
   
• Backlighting Options: Default is red, but many backlight-color options are available & easily changeable.
   
• Easily Customizable Surround: Easily swappable surround bezel, permits removal to paint to match. Chrome surrounds are also available as an add-on option.
   
• Voltage Stabilized: will operate uniformly between 10 and 17 volts with faulting.
   
• Backlighting Options: Default is red, but many backlight-color options are available & easily changeable.
   
• Optional Warning Light Integration: Slot for warning light integrated for use with our optional logic kit (which integrates a warning light and permits you to set the light-trigger value to any temp value you prefer).
   
• Simple Connectivity: Male spade terminals for all contacts -- use female spade terminals on the wiring.
   
• Size:
  Cut-out - 2" to 2-3/32" cut hole:
  → We recommend use of a standard 2" (51mm) hole bit if using a hand-drill with a standard wood hole-bit (the type used for drilling door knob holes) on ABS plastics for nice tight fitment. The larger tooth size & tooth chamfers of such bits tends to oversize the hole slightly in ABS, and we'd rather have you need to file a minute amount afterwards than end up with an excessively sloppy mounting. If using such a bit, we recommend using one that has a center bit integrated and predrilling a centering hole.
  → If using a fine-toothed metal or plastic cutting hole bit (or rotobroach bit) drilling into ABS or metal, we recommend using a 52mm to 53mm bit (2-1/16" to 2-3/32").
   
  Gauge body is actually 52mm diameter.
   
  Depth - 2" depth from the top of the mounting surface downwards. Length can be shortened some by bending terminal contacts and filing some stand-offs on the rear.
   
• Ground-difference Calculation: no heavy voltages going through the sender, single wire application.
   
• Simple wiring instructions (see wiring diagram),
      and we will throw in some heat shrink tubing and connectors for you upon request...
   
• Drain Plug Thread Adaptor Kit available:
  UPDATE: We no longer offer/include drain plug adaptors, but can recommend sources for them. Our field tests with them have found flaws mating the adaptors to many motorcycle manufacturer's oil pans (not to the senders) and maintaining an oil-tight seal, so we no longer recommend them.
   
• Smallest sender on the market: will clear oil pan pick-ups on all motorcycles (haven't found one where it wouldn't if drilled in the right spot), if you'd rather install it permanently instead of using a drain bolt adaptor kit. We recommend permanent installation.
   

OPTIONAL UPGRADES & RELATED ACCESSORIES

• Warning Light & Trigger Logic Kit: Provides a warning light that integrates into the gauge from the backside, plus a logic controller to wire inline. Allows you to easily set the gauge value that you want the warning light to illuminate at, and can be used with any of these gauges (including oil temp gauge, voltage gauge, etc). Special-order item, please allow 10 days additional processing time.
   
• Chrome or Gold Surround Bezel: For that "Bling" effect, you can order a chrome or gold surround bezel instead of the standard black surround. Special-order item, please allow up to 21 days additional processing time.
   
• Square Surround Bezel: For open-vehicle cockpits, or anywhere you think a squared bezel would look better than the stock round bezel, you can order a square bezel instead of the standard black round surround bezel. Special-order item, allow up to 21 days additional processing time.
   
• Matching Gauges: We can also provide matching all-weather/open-cockpit gauges for other applications, including voltage, oil pressure, water temp, ammeter, pyrometers, outside temp gauges, clocks, engine-hours, and even speedo's. All gauges are electrically driven. Please contact us for more info.
