Found one of these on one of Shogun's links to a german site who made these for 735's(?), but not for 750s, so I machined one out of a chunk of aluminum. it has the same dimensions as the standard cap, except the top is solid. With some crafty measuring and positioning, the oil temp sensor ended up just above a standard filter.

pro's, con's, idea's, suggestions ???
