Oil temperature gauge

[Big Phil]

Thinking of getting one of those oil temperature gauges that fits onto the oil filler cap on the engine. Anyone else fitted one? It's just another bit of bling if I'm honest (Can't seem to help myself) but might be interesting to see how hot my girl gets😂🤣😂

Had on for years
They are more bling but do give an idea how hot the motor gets on hot days when stuck in traffic or while filtering .
Mines been well in the red lots of times but the bike always ran just fine.

You must put a lot of miles on your bike Seth I can't recall Scotland ever having a hot day, a dry day or two perhaps but hot🥵😎😅

We do travel a fair bit around euro .
To be fair the gauge has never gone into the red in Scotland only in Europe lol

Phil, just bling really but look good i reckon. Mine been in for years. Ive measured its reading against laser thermometer, its reasonably accurate.

Seems like JMP are the only people who make screw in oil temp gauges. Are there any other choices or manufacturers? Trying to decide between black and silver bodies and faces. I've always wanted an oil filled gauge and I like the look of all of these. Any design suggestions between black and silver? I think I want it to stand out so I'm leaning towards silver on the black casing but a small voice is yelling "subtle is better".

I reckon sluttel is better here, to stand-outish & someone might unscrew it & walk off with it when it's parked up somewhere.

Good point. I'll make sure to pack my oil cap into the cargo area at all times. So one vote for black.

I have one, and I tested it. Water is boiling at 95°C

Oh no. That's not good. Is it a JMP brand?
