i have a question on oil pressure guages.i know that they are of personal preferance but i was wondering what kind of guages everyone is running?i have a road king and am thinking about putting the ness setup on my bike.i have heard that the hd ones are junk.anyone like one in patricular?? thanks for all your replies!!

 

You have a couple of choices - the liquid filled gauge that bolts to the rear cylinder head works although it's practically useless while one's driving the bike. The second choice, at least for me, is the HD gauge cluster which I opted for - however, I went for the 2 gauge cluster housing an oil pressure gauge and an oil temp gauge. HD's oil temp gauge for the Road King, however, uses a sensor that is impossible to mount where they recommend and needs to be mounted beside the engine oil drain plug. Let me know if you need further info. I'm sure there are other gauges and methods out there, but, I am VERY satisfied using HD's gauges and the quality of their mounting system.

 

thanks for the info retired ted!!i hear that a lot of guys dont like the fact of having a pressure guage and a temp guage on their bikes.but i think its a good thing to have just in case there is a problem you know? if i hear a noise then i can have a quick look and see.well i guess there arent a lot of guys running oil pressure guages out there,thanks anyway.

 

I love gauges. This is my Low Rider. I adapted a xl bracket to get these on there. Oil pressure and temp. voltage.
