Big red dash setup

[BigRedRelic]

I wanted a place to put my cylinder head temp gauge and some switches and stuff on the front of my big red.
I to keep it clean I followed the lines of the front headlight protector rack with a piece of steel plate.

after hours of cutting to get the holes just right this is the dash installed with the gauge, switch and hour meter.
this is a complete fresh topend so I thought the hour meter would be neat to have. thanks for checking it out.

Very cool. How long have you had your machine?
You have to be careful as they tend to multiply.

Cool Idea, Nice work and welcome to 3ww

hey thanks guys. the temp sensor is located on the bottom side of the head. on the back. fits right in the fins and cant see it. im still playing with the resistances to get the readings right. I just want a baseline at what temp my bike runs at.

Ive done this setup in the past but the guage kept maxing out had on my fins as well. Have u got a proper reading on this swetup yet?

Did I see a dipstick with an oil temp gauge on it?
I too, would like to know average head temp.

im yet to get the machine out for a shake down with the new engine. il be doing it on Tuesday or Wednesday. than I can play around the gauge. keep watching and il keep everyone posted! :)

Definitely keep us posted BRR. Nice work BTW! I've been looking at some thermostatically controlled cooling fans for my Honda powered golf cart that come on at 190 degrees. The probe is designed to fit in the rad fins. I'm thinking air cooled get a lot hotter.
