   I finished up the install.
Found some braided stainless hose cover left over from an old dress up kit. I thought it would add an extra layer of protection to the oil line.

one piece handlebar clamp w/a pocket for the gauge.  [thumbsup]

I agree, making a solid one piece clamp top with mount for the gauge would look really good.

It doesn't match up well enough to be placed up there.

Great fab skills though  [thumbsup]
I'll update this later at a convenient time Thank you for tuning in.....

I'd zip tie it up where you can see it.   ;D

I disagree, very little matches up on Monsters, naked and a bit untidy - so the out-of-place gauge actually looks right (to me, anyway). I especially like that it's so long. IMO the only thing that might make it better would be to paint the bottom/front part black.

Amazingness  [thumbsup] [thumbsup] [thumbsup]

I wish I anywhere near the fab skills that you have...

It looks incredibly good, the only thing that I would do is paint the holder black to match the cluster.

This gauge requires a connection to the oil system, not a good idea to have a oil pressure line up to the instruments.

How did these pics get above our comments? hmm conspiracy


I like it on the side better, it opens up the vision in front of you.


But it wouldn't matter where it was put. Great job   [thumbsup]

Look at the second pic from the top of my original post. See the brass adapter that screws into the engine case? I made that too. ;D Literally took 15 minutes start to finish.

Dude, we need to talk.  Check your PM.
