Default Oil gauge installation

I have a 2004 Harley Fatboy 88b motor injected what I'm trying to find out is I would like to install an oil gauge on the bike but I would also like to retain the functional oil sending unit. I'm wondering if they make something that actually works that I can have both? That way at least my oil light won't stay on. Thanks

yes they do you remove the sending unit and install a T so you can reinstall the sending unit and the line to your guage

Thank you for your reply, could you tell me where to get the tee? And I did find one online but the reviews said it didn't work because it wasn't tapered. Could you by chance tell me where you got yours? It sure looks nice on your bike thanks

ordered from JP- cycles I have used a brass T from the hardware store in the past also, have seen where the gauge and mounting bracket along with line and T come as a kit

I run a Jerzee customs gauge on my scooter. If I recall correctly it came with an adapter fitting to retain the factory oil pressure sending unit. Check their website. Quality parts. Russel stainless braided hose. High quality chrome gauge mount.
