Coolant temp sensor location

Post by Flatblackfanatic »

Hi all! I have a air cooled parallel twin motorcycle that I am converting to efi.
I have most of the issues sorted out, just need some insight about locating my ECT sensor.
Since I have no coolant, would it make sense to install the ECT in an oil feed passage? or should i mount it to read cylinder head temp?
