Hello everyone!
I just recently signed up to this forum because i just purchased a 71 CB500 and 75 CB550 as well as 76 CB750. I wanted to first start with the 71 CB500 everything is almost stock on it besides the exhaust and the jets in the carbs. I test drove the bike and it does need a good tune up and the engine refreshed b/c there are some minor oil leaks!
My question is i wanted to install a oil temp sensor and i notice that the motor has a few Galley plugs, and i wanted to tap into the one that is on the right side underneath the motor next to the oil pan? I did notice there are oil channels and was just wondering if i use that as an oil temp plug with that affect the oil flow to the engine, because the oil sensor is some what long? I had my father machine a plug or me that take replaces the galley plug so i can install the oil temp sensor. I have some pics so you have an idea what i am talking about. Please Don't be to harsh on me i just want to know if i can use that galley plug for my analog oil temp. sensor. If anyone as a better solution i am all ears.
Here are some pics of my 71 CB500 and 76 CB750! I bought both CB500,750 from the original owner you can see it on my trailer loaded up and ready to go!
