since we are on the fluid filled gauge topic here. what is the fluid in the gauges. and what weight? I have a test gauge that I use at work. pulled it out of my tool box one day. and all the fluid leaked out through the plug in the back. I wonder if I can re-fill the gauge? get the fluid? or just through it in the trash?

nice gauges,by the way.

Alright, this has really got my attention. I have to install one of these oil gauges on my bike. Can someone please walk me through what all I need to buy, and how to install one? I am not overly mechanical, but can do most things. I would really like to install one so if anyone could let me know, I'll offer a free weekend ride when ya come to Florida[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Harley Davidson has a kit with lines chrome mount and oil filled guage for 60 bones the lines are steel braided. guage only for 45. The guage is small I think 1 3/4 looks good though.

Hey guys where can I find the liquid filled gauges? I jumped on line looking and can't find them. Anyway tell me which gauge is the best, and what all adapters I need. Are mechanical, or electric the best. I still want to be able to use the stock oil light, so let me know. I'm excited now. I have been looking for something to buy, but haven't been able to come up with something that I could sell my girl on " honey I really need this to keep me and my bike safe, you wouldn't want it to just blow up and ruin are up comming vacation to the phillipines would you?"[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] Also can you buy them with lights on them? And if so can you directly hook that up so that it comes on with your head lights? Ya I know it's a lot of questions but what the hell.

Someone asked about the liquid in the gauges? I'm not sure about autometer but most liquid filled gauges have glycerine in them, it's a heavy oil kinda like menerial oil. Man I didn't leave work until 2:00am this morning and can't remember how to spell anything this morning.

It's a stock dash with proper sized holes drilled out.

As you'll notice, there wasn't enough room for the key, so I went with a toggle switch and pro design kill switch combo.
