Hi all,

I was wondering if you know what brand are the cups Oliver used for his gauges:

They look like the Wimmer cups, welded to the bars... not sure.
If you know the part number or something similar I could use, please let me know.

Those are Wimmer cups and they're bolted on.


I got Arlen Ness cups on mine but they're pointed, they also bolt on. You would need to tap and thread the bars.

What do you know about drilling and tapping bars .....buddy

The Nessgauge cups Chris used was for2-1/16"as that's what is std with the DynoTech widebandO2install and he has 1-1/4" bars as i recall.!


The P/N you require is based on the following:

[*]Handlebar diameter
[*]Gauge diameter
[*]Top or bottom mount, for the exiting wires, introduce yet another flavor from manufacturers[/list]


The Ness gauge cups are machined to fit the specific O.D. of the bar and can be mounted with a 1/4" or M6 screw. On Chris's install he kept it all metric and used M6 Hex hd stainless bolts so he could swing a small box wrench within the cup

Here's an example of the cup: http://www.phatperformanceparts.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=AN%2DTORPEDOMNTS


Here's the install:

Thanks Alan, it helps a lot. However, I do not plan to install the cups on bars.
I will use some sort of brackets to attach them somewhere to the bike frame, where I can glimpse at easy...

I kills me to think I have to put a hole into my Carlini bars and I also want to avoid any wire exposure near bars.

I believe I have a Wimmers cup available if you need but I gotta check for sure in the boxes.

Chris, you did not used them on your coolers?
It is because of your bike that I decided to go with the Wimmers...

I ordered 3 cups and right now, only use 1. I will eventually use another for the oil temp. I found a guage that will measeure boost and oil pressure combination. I still havent found a place to mount the second cup.
