New Bonneville stem mounted oil gauge / 02 America

Just a quick heads up on the stem mounted oil pressure gauge from New Bonneville, I just brought one after reading it will fit the America's as well as the Speedmasters, I have an 02 America, started fitting it up and it doesn't clear the bars as the risers are too short. Not sure which way I'll go yet, buy a set of Speedie risers and shorten them to suit or make up a spacer to go under the risers on it. Quality of the gauge and fittings are good so apart from this little hiccup it fits up well. Just wanted to make Triumph America owners aware that if you are considering one of these gauges you'll have the same fitting/clearance problem. I did look at the engine mounted gauge kits available but the stem mount will be easier to see, like I said just wanted to let the America owners out there aware they will have to modify / replace their risers if they buy a stem mount gauge.

 

Glad I went with the stem mount it will be easier to keep an eye on.

 

Just a quick followup for America owners, these are a good gauges but be aware you will need to do the same as me if you have stock risers. Make up a 10mm spacer and buy new bolts 80mm long to replace the originals, this will give you 3mm clearance to the installed gauge

 

To be honest the 10mm spacer isn't noticeable to me as far as reaching the bars, happy with the kit and all the fittings seem good quality. A bit of thread tape and its oil tight and leak free.
