    i used the 18mm adapter from egauges ( brass 18mm male threads, rubber o-ring, female 1/8 pipe threads)...i tightened this fitting into the non fouler, then i installed this into the cylinder head......my socket fit over the brass adapter onto the non fouler's hex head.....then i installed the sender unit................i wrapped the last couple of threads on the non fouler and the sending unit......my gauge is electrical so i don't wrap all the threads, just the last few......be sure and remove the chrome covers to get better access.... i just used standard sockets ..no thin wall......i don't remember the size......i don't think i even used a long socket.......but what i did usedid fit

    midrsv i know that everyone that sells electrical sensors says not to wrap the threads because you need the grounding contact i'm here to tell you that i don't wrap all the threads, but i do wrap the last couple of threads , and the gasket, and i've had no problems with the gauge working and no leaks......i wrapped all the threads of the adapters for the oil i did this for the venture and i did it for my harley when i added an oil temp gauge. for others adding gauges........discounthydralic hose and egauges sell all kinds of adapters and bushings but the only adapter that works for water temp is the non fouler. the discount adapter gasket is too big and the egauges adapter you can't get your socket on......there is a recessed boss where the plug is that distorts the gasket and stops your socket you can take the gasket off of the non fouler and put it on the discounthyd. adapter,but why do that you can use the 18mm adapter from egauges that will screw into the non fouler which saves you the step of cutting your own threads i spent more money than needed to.......all i ended up using was the 20mm adapter( discounthyd.), a reducing bushing ( egauges) in that for the oil.........and then the 18mm ( egauges) in the nonfouler

    freebird i also thought about some type of gasket.....one thing that entered my mind that might work would be that chrome door edge guard material that you can get at any auto parts store which would go with a chrome faceplate.......... some people brought up an issue with the mp3 terminal being exposed to water......here is my solution......

    my readings were : after running the bike about 20 min at speed, 70 mph, 5th gear......oil pressure 40, volts 13.8, temp. 200....when accelerating , dropping to 4th, oil goes to 50 psi.......if i let it idle for 5 or more mins...were..oil 8psi....temp climbs to about 220, volts about 13.5......... my temp gauge is electric, so might read different than a mechanical............voltmeter graduations are really close ,but i've checked my readings with a multi meter............startup..oil goes to about 60 to 65 psi even at idle...but will decrease as temp rises...........

    lighten you can't get a socket or wrench in the front cylinder to tighten the adapter down.....at least i couldn't freebird you seeing what i'm seeing except my temp gauge doesn't show quite that high...about 200, maybe 210 silvrt when i rotated my faceplate, the rounded corners didn't quite cover the corners

    go into the tech section and read a write up by goose...this is where i got most of my ideas from......he describes the spark plug non fouler ( 18 mm ) you can get from advance,...autozone etc......and shows a picture.............the brass plug you have and i used screws into the top of this ,...and then the sender screws into the brass adapter......it just saves a step, .....you don't have to take an american threaded adapter and cut new threads as he describes......... it's got nothing to do with fouling a cylinder....it's just what it's called...and is used for cylinders that are burmning oil and keeps the plug end away from the oil so it will not foul...

    cougar that's what i used in the spark plug non fouler .......and be sure to use the non fouler....for various reasons no other adapter worked ..either the gasket wouldn't fit from discount warehouse or you couldn't get the socket on the egauges adapter to tighten it down...and be sure to only use that cylinder mentioned in goose's post....don't try the front cylinders...........i found this all out.............

    cougar if you mean the plug for the oil pressure.....they never answered my e-mail.....go to discounthydralichose.com....they were the only ones i found that had a 20mm drilled adapter ( and other adapters).....but you will have to use a reducing bushing to fit the 1/8 npt right angle fitting ( that's what i did ) .......also,.. go to egauges.com to check out their line of metric bushings and adapters...... i don't think the width of the opening will allow that size and many gauges........when you pull the cassette, you will see that the white box that held the cassette also houses the idiot lights on either side.....you can't widen the opening without hitting those...........height wise...you can probably make wider gauges fit......

    do you mean the " insert image " icon.....will that let me type a paragraph, put a pic in, and then continue typing after the pic. ...........i'm assuming that when i hit the insert image , it will let me go to my kodak program and choose the pic i want?....is this right?

    lighten here is a pic of the mounting straps on the faceplate and where i attached them inside the fairing. the first pic shows the faceplate and strap......second pic is the bolt through the white box that the end of the strap is attached to...you can also see the relay i used and the black fairing frame tubing with the mounting hole for the strap that holds the amp . the loose wire isone of the grounding straps for the new wiring that is attached to this frame....if i used a longer bolt, i could have attached the relay to this also.....but i just tie wrapped it later can anyone here tell me how to post a rightup on my install and post pics as i go along......i can post all the pics at once, but that's not what i want to do.......
