I've got a question regarding this.  I've got a 1980 air-cooled and an
after-market oil temperature gauge.  The question is:  What's too hot?
I definitely get as hot as 120C before I really start worrying.  Is that
too hot already?

Can't help you, but I can tell  you that I had an 81
Westy and I had a full flow oil cooler on it and it
still overheated on hills (in the heat) or just with
the AC on.  Good luck.  This was back in 81 when the
westy was new.  M
