oil pressure fluctuation
Have an 06 103 cvo. Having some weird oil pressure going on. When i first take off and ride however long it sits right on 32lbs. But when i come to a stop and sit for 10 secs the oil pressure never gets there again. might hit about 28 and if i come off the throttle to around 2000 rpm its down to about 20lbs. its always around 10lbs at idle either way. It just started doing this. Thought maybe a bad filter or something after i changed the oil so i changed the oil and filter again and that made no difference. I checked the chain tensioners about 200 miles ago and they looked fine. Is the oil pump maybe going out? Not sure what else could cause that unless something in the crank.

My favourite indy reckons the worst thing Harley ever did was fit oil pressure gauges! They cause more worry than they are worth. When your engine is cold the pressure will be higher than when everything is up to full operating temperature. Unless your oil change is way over due it is difficult to imagine anything that could be wrong.
It is difficult to diagnose problems over the internet. If you are concerned, call on your local dealer or indy, to get an opinion.
