T140E Morgo Oil Pressure Gauge and Adding a Neutral Light

[@kdsowen2882]

Nicely-sorted Bonnie Cliff , you've given yourself 'the Green-Light ! ' Dave

[@robthoreson8384]

I do like the idea of adding a neutral light and now I have a good idea what’s needed. Thanks!

You sure are one Smooth Operator.

[@OldBiker]

haha thanks Todd, I have another mod coming up for the Triumph, I'm just waiting for the parts to be delivered, that'll be the next video!, stay tuned!

@@OldBiker I got into a conditioning in my '70 Daytona 500 thank you I was just using a manual and a roll of masking tape that I labeled things such as pushrods which one went where I kind of thing I did for the first time with no prior experience. The intensity in my ability to pay attention was all guided by my enthusiasm to get that new cylinder head replaced from the cracked one and get it running better than ever. Maybe that's just to it was all a dream come true with the new piston rings too. In later years I traded that one up including a lot of cash for a '75 Trident. That's sold all by itself and I moved off of little Cape Cod Massachusetts going up to New Hampshire where I am still today.You have that glorious bike so juicy sounding! 20:44. Actually, you know, I don't think the bike could have ever run that well and clean without this history of you attending to it, really. Do you have the Midas touch. That Bonneville is now solid gold!

Another great video, thanks for posting. That was a very good idea to utilise the defunct oil warning lamp position to change into a neutral lamp. Coincidentally I have just loaded a similar video about my T150V, which features an oil pressure gauge conversion too.

[@OldBiker]

Yeah just been watching that one and bracing the stand should be done on all Triumphs! Here is a link to the video if anyone reads this kzbin.info/www/bejne/iGTLemWKft2DeJI

i think shropshire classics do a combined oil light feed and op gauge take off for the timing cover

[@OldBiker]

Yeah looks ugly hanging out the front almost level with the header pipes, besides I wanted the neural switch :D On another note Shropshire Classics tends to be the last choice in parts I'm seeking due to their extortionate prices, take a neutral switch for example the with an average cost of £14, exactly the same one at Shropshire £38.52 or the sludge trap tube alone eBay £12.99 - Shropshire £42.35! Joke prices in times like this especially when they are web based and have virtually no overheads.

[@garyhuston]

Where did you get the pressure gauge?

[@OldBiker]

My mate Brian got it for me but they are currently out of stock from here www.morgo.co.uk/product/morgo-oil-pressure-gauge-kit/

[@garyhuston]

Thanks

[@anthonybak3079]

I need to do the same to my bike. Also, how can we make the speedometer and tachometer gauges light up without changing them??

[@OldBiker]

Lost me on that question, don't they have clock lights fitted?

[@jeffuren6942]

Having an oil pressure gauge is great..but..what pressure should it be running at & what pressure is too high/too low

[@OldBiker]

anything above 20psi at idle is OK, I've never heard of it being too high, mine runs at 75psi when ticking over at first start and around 50 at idle once warmed up. These will vary from bike to bike, mine has quite a good pressure as I recently rebuilt it with all new seals etc

[@alwood9148]

haha pump oh well mate i,m just going to fit a oil pressure guage to the 650 bonny But the brass plate on the timing cover i know what it says i think who made it and can u get hands on one for sale and i need mudguards for the 1975 xs650 if u happened to have some cheers and here comes our winter, al

[@OldBiker]

Hi Al my mate got me the oil gauge and fittings, I'll ask him and see if he can get one, by the way I have ordered a bunch of those 90 degree screwdrivers so will let you know when they are in stock :)

[@alwood9148]

@@OldBiker appreciate that ,and does your brass plate on timing case say "parts falling off this machine are of the highest british craftmanship"?? fucking funny as your razor blade and i want 2
