Got my TTO oil temp gauge and generic direct from China tank bag installed

The only hiccup I ran into with the temp gauge was needing to change it from M6 1.0 threads to 1/8" NPT on RPM's oil galley adapter. I ended up getting a flush mount 1/8" NPT plug (similar to this http://www.quadratec.com/Assets/Images/108460/108460-md.jpg) and screwed it into the RPM adapter as far as it would go, then ground it down flush. Next I drilled and tapped the center of the plug to M6 1.0 and everything else went together just fine.

Thanks again Randy for the quick shipping on the adapter!

I had been watching this same model tank bag on eBay for $28.99, but of course the day I went to buy it they sold out and weren't getting any more. There were a few other sellers that had them but I felt they wanted way more than they're worth. So I looked around and found the same model on AliExpress.com for just a few dollars more (http://www.aliexpress.com/snapshot/246452474.html). So far I'm impressed with the bag, it has tons of room and even has a helmet bag inside.

Whoops lol! In that case yes, that was bought on eBay for $40.00 shipped. Eventually I'll elongate the leads and mount it up higher on the dash, but for now it works fine where it's at.

Unfortunately no. And since it's battery powered I don't think there'd be any way to add lighting to it.
