Running 10W40 I see about 90C when just cruising around, with 15W50 that jumps to about 95C. Highest peak I have had is 110C but I reckon if Id have carried on driving like I was that was well on for 120C.

Yep I did it first ages ago, I was seeing temps over 125+ and killed my big ends as a result.
get th elater 20XE plate as you can easily tap a 1/8NPFT (or whaever it is) for the oil temp sensor, they aren't thermostat ones, but you'll not get cold temps unless a) driving like a pussy b)goign 3miles to shops
Pirtek ones you'll be looking at the sharp end of £100-120 for them in steel braides PTFE jobs, but are gurantee'd. Come see how mines set up when you get down for plug cover,
