Hi all,
I recently installed an Arrow 2-1 on my '05 Thruxton, and I got to thinking that it might be nice to hook my handy AEM wideband tuner up to the existing plugged bungs on the Arrow 2-1 to get an idea of how I did with my jetting and/or give some feedback to move forward. The catch? The wideband sensor is an M18x1.5 thread while the Arrow bungs (and Triumph O2's which my bike doesn't have) are M12x1.25. I tried the Innovate adapter, but it's just about impossible to actually get the thing in place with where the pipes and bungs sit.
After an exhaustive search, it looks like there is no straight M12 to M18 adapter available anywhere. I've considered buying an M12 hose barb and sealing it (or welding it) into an M18 bung to fit the WB sensor, but this will pull the sensor out of the direct stream also. I'd rather not weld another bung on, and again I'd rather not drill out the existing bungs...has anyone tried anything like this? The other thought I had was to maybe put down some temporary silicone or a gasket of some sort and temporarily press the O2 sensor in place with some sort of clamp or safety wire situation.
Or I can just give up and wait on my colortune thread adapter to show up and go that route. Any thoughts?
