Oil temp/pressure sensor

What am I looking for?

One needs to send oil temperature from a bike engine to an oil temp guage.

One needs to send oil pressure to an oil pressure guage.

Where is the cheapest place to get one?

The 108 quid units

They have to match the gauges you are using or the readings will be miles out. If you a re using production car type instruments there are dozens of different types of temperture units -- and quite a few types oil presure transducers. Aftermarket gauges are a little easier as a supplier Demon Tweeks aren't the cheapest but they have a massive range and a good goodies catalogue.

I took the cowards way out and used a Smiths 50mm combined oil pressure and water temp gauge from an MG --- no electrics invovled and easy to test off car £20 off ebay

No water in the Gixer engine. Does anyone do a combined Oil pressure/temp guage I wonder?

Combined oil press and temp exist --- very popular in older single seater racing cars
