I just purchased the Unobtainium 2.0 panel for my 1999 GL1500SE and would like to have a Voltage gauge and an Oil pressure gauge.
For the Oil pressure gauge, I will need to add a street T-fitting between the factory Oil pressure sensor and the engine. Can anyone tell me what thread is on the Oil pressure sensor? Is it a NPT, BSPT, or something else? What size?
These are the gauges that I'm considering. They are not an exact match to the factory speedometer and tachometer gauges, but they are similar. I really like the combination of digital and analog in one gauge.
I do not know the thread size, , , ,BUT, , ,I would bet the ranch that the threads are METRIC. I can't believe Mother-Honda would put a USA or British thread on that engine. I would guess a 12-14mm thread sounds about right.
Nice looking gauges, but I don't see anywhere that they are intended for outdoor, or wet environment use. It appears they are inside vehicles and trucks only. You may want to call and check on that.
Years ago I put a gauge on my CB750K2. I was surprised to find out that the threads were 1/4” pipe. Can’t swear about the GL but the sensors look the same
I emailed GlowShift gauges and asked if there gauges were somewhat waterproof. I received a reply that emphatically stated that they were not.
Below is the response from GlowShift.

Run a 1/8inch pipe tap in the threads and then u can put in standard fitting. I did that and no leaks and tight fit.
