Dakota digital has all kinds of additional guages. Oil temp and pressure.
However you can add any type of mechanical or electrical gauge providing you have the sending unit for that gauge. Doesn't have to say "fits on <your bike here>".

I ended up with AutoMeter for both.
Like archer said, there are a lot of ways to go on this type of instrument.

At one time I used the HD gauge
and mounted it tucked in tight on the horn side of the machine.......

there is this one too. i was looking ta the harley one but i was told that hose is junk. so i was thinking of this one since it is already powdercoated black and had a russle hose. they are like 120 compared to harley 70-80 but once you powdercoat and get a new hose you might as well get this one

[quote=mudpuddle;4708009]RH, HD offers a Pressure Gauge. I don't think they have the Temp Gauge.

I like the set up you have mud.
How did you hook up that temp gauge?

I picked up a 1.5" oil temp. gauge on a clearance table at a Harley dealer last Summer. The part # is 74513-04. It will not work on newer bikes because all the oil lines are now internal - no place to tap into. So after several other winter projects, my next purchase is going to be an oil cooler - then I will have a line to tap into. Might be a solution for you if you are willing to look around since it's out of production.
Its a nice little gauge that will fit perfectly below the speedometer, and not hit the tank, etc.
