• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Water Temp, Oil Press., or Oil Temp Gauge, Which One ?

I am going to unplug the factory aux. fuel and temp. gauges. I am trying to decide which gauges to put in their place. I am going to put in a digital voltmeter on the left side.
What to put on the right side? Has anybody put in oil pressure? if so, what sending unit and where to install? Thanks in advance for an insight.

I went with Auto Meter gauges and bought them from Summit Racing as their gauges are weatherproof and seemed to match the factory gauges well. Total cost for the Voltmeter and Oil Pressure were about $110 delivered.

Yours look really nice. My husband needed a guage for his Harley and he needed it with a white face and chrome ring. The only one they had was part of a 3 gauge set so I said I could use the voltmeter and oil pressure gauge on my Spyder. Now I think it will look pretty ugly with the white face.
 
Where are people installing the oil pressure sender?
Buy a tee from this company and then remove the factory sending unit located in the lower right side of the Spyder. Screw this tee into the 10 mm hole and screw the factory sending unit back into the straight through outlet. In the other outlet screw the 1/8" npt sending unit that comes with your gauge. That way you maintain the 'idiot' light on the Spyder plus you get the actual pressure read out. Be careful with the torque pressure on the tee as it has a narrow wall. Lube it well and use a crush washer.
