    Oil presure guage

    want to install an OPG, possibly on the column, more then likely someplace lower, anyhoo, question is: i mod'd a OPG on my bike, was kinda easy, just changed a bolt in the head and ran line up to gauge. what is needed to add a OPG on the VX?

    Dave, how did you get the water temp gauge to work? I have the same carbon gauge, but haven't had the nerve to tap into the engine yet! I would appreicate any help.
    Thanks Dave,

    Dave...

    Oh Apostle, I also have an oil gauge. I just removed the top plug in the collar that the filter screws into, and relocated the stock oil sensor into the top hole. Then I tap the stock hole just a little to get the Autometer sensor to fit. The Autometer sensor is to big to fit into the top hole in the collar, so that's why I relocated the stock oil sensor. It's very easy to do and only take about 20 minutes.
    Always a kid at heart!

    This is the very reason why I paid $75 to have it all done by a mechanic, heh. Saves me the time and trouble, and also insures me that if it goes bad, I call them up.
