I messed up my oil filler cap getting it off. Anyone useing the oil temp gauge from new bonneville that replaces the stock cap? Does it work good? it sure looks cool. Does it leak? Please tell me good things about it, my wife is going to read this and determan weather I get the ok for the 85 bucks or not, here goes...

I have it. It looks great, it works great, it is a little on the expensive side but I don't care now. Remember - it Is the Oil filler hole, Don't wank that thing down! I hand tighten mine and it never leaks.

****Note - Please do not look at this guage while your riding or you will hit something before you have a chance to look back up. That is NOT from experience just common sense.

+1 I have one as well. Very high quality and liquid filled. With the bike running the needle doesn't vibrate at all.

I would highly recommend it.

Just a bit worried that if I got one, it's the sort of thing a brainless oppertunist might nick.
Still thinking about it though.

Does anyoneone know what sort of oil tempretaure range the bonnie should be running at?

I haven't seen anything in the blurb for the gauges or in any of my manuals, but it would seem something you need to know if you had one of these gauges.

Save your money, get a regular cap, spend the extra on other bits and pcs.

I just ordered the oil temp gauge, I can't wait to get it!
I don't like that I had to put our credit card number on line to do the order, don't like that a bit, they really should take orders by phone at new bonneville. I called the phone number for 3 hours and couldn't get anything but a recording.

You can't go wrong with New Bonneville, your cards safe with Brent!

thanks for the reasureance on the card, wifeys ok now. so what is normal oil temp when hot?

LOL - Brent isn't taking your card to Vegas! He is a stand up guy and a solid member of this Forum! You have nothing to worry about unless there is no candy in your package. I just got the Oil Pressure gauge today and there were 3 nestle Crunch Bars in there which I'm enjoying right now!
