I also put the sensor in the oil pan and used the extra drain pug hole. You will need to use a brass adapter, which you can pick up at Lowes or ACE.

I have the mcewen but the scale on the gauge sucks. 100-300. It's up at 270-300 a lot the very end of the scale. . Gauge should be 250-350. Who the hell designed it should be fired. I wouldn't buy it again.

What's the Harley scale on their gauge?

My bike, with a cooler, runs oil temps in the 200-230 range. To the OP, I sometimes wonder if it was a good idea putting in it on the bike. I look at it way to much and it just seems to make me a little nervous. I bought the HD unit.
