Which temperature are you trying to measure -- oil or water?

If oil, the sender replaces the oil drain plug.  Any sensor with M15 thread and can place 80ºC at midscale. The gauge should have a range 40ºC - 100ºC.   If water, the sensor connection is part of the wiring harness.

YES, I have one in my bike. Needs a different sending unit but I just got used to where it reads and left the OEM in.
