Having a look at this thread again, I can't even reply to the right bloke. I should have replied to Rob who mentioned
his problem, not Keith
Anyway, getting back to the subject staffo
(apologies Glen), Whilst I really like what Ian's done which looks great, my only problem with those oil pressure gauges is you have to make a bit of an effort to see them.
Yeah I know, just move your right leg and have a squiz, but having the plug and play oil pressure gauge which has the alloy bracket coming off the right side casing myself, I reckon it's a bit of an "out of sight out of mind thing" which isn't may defeat the purpose of having one if you don't discipline yourself in looking at the thing.
Personally I'd much prefer to have a gauge up where merely a quick glance with your eyes you could see it, but this is only my personal opinion after having had the fitted down model for a while.
This is just my opinion Glen but I reckon the gauge that fits in the steering stem which Fast Eddy sells is probably a better alternative
this one cos it's always in view.
Providing of course the handlebars or some other instrument isn't configured in such a way which could obstruct the line of sight, which is quite possible and the problem I have.
Now, regarding the temp gauge that Ian (and I and many others) have, it's also sold by Eddy and just replaces the oil filler cap. It's a little beauty and whilst it too requires it's down on the casing, it's not as important imho to look at as often compared to the pressure gauge. Someone else may disagree but that's how I see it.
Anyway, that's my two cents worth.
Of course, If you don't mind moving your right leg and taking your eyes off the road for a couple of seconds, then what Ian's done would be my next pick and I'm sure he'd give you some good guidance which parts to source and where to get them from cos when you have a look at what parts are involved and where they go, it really is an easy alternative.
I suppose depending on your skills, the only issue may be making a suitable bracket similar to Ian but besides that, you really could save yourself a fair bit going down that path.
It's just options I guess.
