Guys,
Is there anywhere in the UK that sells these gauges that take the place of the dipstick ?

Got mine of flee bay. Dont work with HPN tank as you have to take the tank of to check the oil.
Cant read when your riding, even with a stock tank. If I had my time again I would mount a gauge on the dash.
 
Got one in my garage, stopped using when I realised that it being shorter than the normal dipstick meant you had to keep a very close eye on your oil levels - I'd rather know how much oil I have in it than the temperature of it :thumb

I've one on my F650 single :) I'd heard it was actually usefull for on the move oil level checking as if the oil level drops off the bottom of the dipstick then the temp drops off :cool:
 
They're absolutely useless. I wouldn't bother. All you will do is scare yourself to death or run into a tree trying to look at it while you're riding along. All it's going to tell you is the bikes too hot and is about to blow. You knew that anyway :)

I agree with Rob...
Complete wast of money...I got one it lasted about 6 months then the glass fell out :blast
It could have fallen out after 4 months and i may not have noticed:aidan
Novelty item and i wont be replacing it :augie
