should be very doable -- get a spare oil tank cap, and turn it into an adaptor for the sending unit

Gonna ride this one with Tpoppa, BUT.......

I want a small lcd type digital readout, maybe the size of a quarter or a postage stamp or a soda can tab.

Any ideas guys??? Help some brothers out

I was thinking something could be mounted on the line that goes to the oil cooler. That would probably give an accurate temp reading.

There must be and add-on Harley part out there...

I have seen at my harley dealer a chrome plug that goes in as the dipstick but also has a temperature gauge built into it. You push the button and it gives you a reading. Its for harleys but I'm sure you could rig it for the buell with all the knowledge on this board.
