[QUOTE="craig, post: 100887, member: 1959"] I have bought all TTO from shopmxwest using eBay and free shipping. [URL]https://www.ebay.com/itm/Trail-Tech-TTO-Temperature-Meter-Digital-Gauge-14mm-Spark-Plug-Sensor-742-ET3/362014858510?epid=239064982&hash=item5449c45d0e:g:RkIAAOSwhQhYxYL1:rk:1:pf:0[/URL] Just type at eBay - tto 14mm My Comet 8/1 piston, Mk1 28mm, on a hot day , 95F ambient, 10 mile steady pace 65 mph , 200 lb load, flat ground, TTO might read as high as 340F. Climb a 3 mile hill at 65mph might be little higher. My Comet TTO typically reads 290F - 320F. speed comes down, temp comes down. I typically ride back roads at 50mph or less, but pretty aggressively. You have to Z bend the copper rings to fit Vincent head form, but easy to figure out. I also ream out the hole, Dremel 1/4 sand drum, to make it easier to take on off, as when it crushes it gets smaller and wont come off the spark plug nicely. I would double stick tape it to a simple aluminum strap to one side, one hole , mount to the upper Smiths speedo stud. Cheers Craig [/QUOTE]
