#170429 Mich447 (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 194 oil pressure gauge install correction 3 Years, 2 Months ago   Good evening all, just finished up on installing a oil pressure gauge on an 05 roadstar 1700, followed article from the forum, great article and help a great deal. My only comment on the article that I beleave should be corrected is in regards to the installtion of the banjo bolt and fitting on the oil gallery. After researching and discussing this with mechanics there is no way a 8mm banjo bolt should be used with a 10mm banjo fitting. To much room for error and pressure leaks. The conclusion we came up with and works great is to drill out the original 8mm thread hole in oil gallery and tap in a 10mm thread to except the 10 mm banjo bolt, no room for error unless you screw up tap. Good luck all.   Logged     Last Edit: 2009/03/06 19:51 By Mich447.

I think I have the last three on the planet. They came from a helpful company in Canada had to buy four bit price.   Logged     RIDE DS:219 MASSILLON OHIO   The administrator has disabled public write access. #170579 ultrastar (User) Keep The Speedometer Side Up Platinum Boarder Posts: 2937 Re:oil pressure gauge install correction 3 Years, 2 Months ago   don't quote me on this but I think thats what the 2 copper smash washers ar for   Logged     Keep The Speedometer Side Up http://s366.photobucket.com/albums/oo105/ultrastar1/   The administrator has disabled public write access. #170581 Mich447 (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 194 Re:oil pressure gauge install correction 3 Years, 2 Months ago   the washer make the seal but won't hold smaller bolt in center of larger fitting   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #170583 ultrastar (User) Keep The Speedometer Side Up Platinum Boarder Posts: 2937 Re:oil pressure gauge install correction 3 Years, 2 Months ago   I still have my invoice from when I ordered ny parts and its a 10 mm banjo and it has never leeked   Logged     Keep The Speedometer Side Up http://s366.photobucket.com/albums/oo105/ultrastar1/   The administrator has disabled public write access.
