Dont recall seeing one on a Rushmore?

Wouldn't say it's a theory! My 2014 and 2016 had a full pressure read out.Come to the 2017 and they replaced the read out to OK or Check Oil,which means it still has the capacity to check the pressure but guaranteed they are hiding it?

Check out this guy on Ebay. This link is for a TC model, but I emailed him and he is putting together a kit for the M8's.

ALL HD “FULL” Touring bikes had oil pressure gauges or digital readouts through 2016. 2017 was the first model year (first year of the M8) to eliminate not just the gauge but any upgrade sensor that could provide a digital oil pressure reading.

When the first M8s were released back in August 2016, the MoCo was also releasing an update for the Boom Infotainment. As stated in this update, there would be a P&A accessory that would allow oil pressure in PSI to be displayed on the Boom screen. It still has not happened. Is this just an oversight by the MoCo, or is there a reason why owners should not be burdened with excessive info like oil pressure.

Boom! Box 6.5GT
Date Released: 08/23/2016
Version: 1.20.1
Change Log:
Improvements
• Vehicle Information screen will display “OK” or “Check Oil”
for oil pressure on MY17 models. Oil pressure values can
be enabled with a P&A accessory for MY17 vehicles.
