has anyone installed aftermarket guages such as an afr or oil pressure guage?

Hey smat, forgot to say thanks for the vid prop a few days ago. Yes, I installed an AFR [pwcomdr] and a medical vacuum gauge, but no oil gauge. Both glued into position I might add.

1. 02 placement: Here is where it gets tricky. Mother t uses the euro pipe with all models. So you can see a flat spot on the right side, before the cat, count 2 bolts back at the sump pan, using the right front corner as the 1st bolt. Aim your eye down that second bolt, say you place the 02 flat against that round impression mark on the header. That is also punched at an angle to position the 02 correctly, you weld the bung flat on it there.

See, what happens next is the tail of the wired 02 housing smacks into 2nd bolt. You need to send the water condensation off the nose of the 02 or if you make it level, she'll rust out. So what I did was set the hole as low as I could, brazed the bung as low as I could. I then replaced the 8mm head bolt with a phillips head screw. This cleared the wire, the housing, because the vibration thru the wires happens fast. I do not want anything touching, especially the exhaust flexing off the frame mounts.

2. The oil gauge would be an easy bleed off. My first setup would be to run the tiny nylon tube and those np or whatever pitch gauge the plumbing parts are used for? That oil sending unit under the oil filter has that plumbing pitch if I'm not mistaken, someone will chime in. So you run a piggy from there. Out from the sump is whatever the car industry has for those clusters on some hot rod you build.

The T off of that is the nylon tube that I believe is squeezed/squished with the ball drilled for the line and you collapse the two for sealing? To close off the T, you reinstall the oil sending unit. Clear the line away from the header and then if you have a place for the gauge off the dash? I'd glue it like where I have the vac gauge.

Now that I built it in my head, I should have taken an accurate oil pump gauge and found that number first? Once I install that dash gauge, I have another number, that or the same number. Unless you don't care, just rather see the oil needle drop out you kill the engine, something like that? Or the other is to watch the wear occur, you have a base number with some dot [I use paint you use to dot your t-shirts with], craft store kind of stuff... See my kawi green speedo markers?

Yeah, and wait till you see how lean that machine is. I set my bike up to run 15.3:1 AFR on the '08. This '013 is running 16.5:1 all day long. A little less than 2 gallons, I'm looking at a pinch over 90 plus miles? You do the math.

I plan on doing an akra header this winter, so I think that would be a Lil easier once I have it torn apart. Sounds good to. Thanks Hub!

When I get flashed, I'm going to wanna see my afr.
