Installed oil temp gauge in my 08 egc a week ago.today was first long open road ride,did about 120 miles of mixed 2 lane and interstate.
As i have read elsewhere on this forum,you do spend alot of time looking at the gauge,but it is nice to know the temp.
For the people interested my temps ran at about 190-200 while going down the road and when slowed by traffic in cities would then start to climb up but never anything drastic as highest temp was about 220.
Riding conditions were sunny to partly cloudy,with wind of about 15-20mph and a temp of 80.
I also have the h-d low mount oil cooler and im running royal purple 20-50 oil.
Hope this helps anybody who is thinking about oil coolers or the oil temp gauge,in my opinion both are worthy investments to monitor and safegaurd your bike.
