Yes it was crimped but very lightly then secured further with heat shrink. I was afraid I would crush it so I measured it and ground a nail the same size to slip in the the end of the lug ID then crimped. The heat shrink sealed the end off, that is why I have it zip tied to that aluminum piece so it does not get yanked out. The round aluminum is a stand off for the sensor mount location on the head.

I am using a later 750 Spectre head that has the same cast lugs on it as the GPZ750 Turbo only its not drilled and tapped. Below is a pic of the temperature fitting on a turbo head.


 
Just checked, the 550 doesn't have the bung, it'll be easy enough to drill and tap a small M5 hole and make an ali bung that I can bolt to the head

I think that putting it in a thicker mass down by the combustion chamber is better than up on the cam cover. Kawasaki designed and located those cast bosses in that area for that specific purpose.

That's exactly where I've got it marked out in the picture
