Interesting. You've been a member for 19 years and this is your first post.

Surely one of these links has it in stock. Amazon ??? Unless someone has NOS OEM part, you're likely going to have to purchase an aftermarket sensor.

I don't always assume that oil in tank, and no oil pressure, automatically means the pressure switch is malfunctioning.

I will always try a mechanical guage in its spot, just to test that the oil pump is in fact putting out oil pressure.

Once I am sure the pump is working, I'll give the oil sensor wire a good look over, to make sure it's not chaffed or damaged affecting the sensors signal.

Once you have a mechanical gauge and a fitting, it doesn't take long at all....

After checking those two things, I'll replace the switch. I have only done it once in all my years of Harley ownership. It was on a friend's bike like 15 years ago. I still own an '01 &'03 with OEM oil pressure switches.

Anyways, there are aftermarket choices:

JP Cyles sells one by Milwaukee Twins @ $11.95

https://www.jpcycles.com/product/mil...ku_id=10237362

Revzilla sells the same one for the same price

https://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/...xoCXhMQAvD_BwE

Here's a place I've never heard of, but they claim to have one in stock..

https://www.partzilla.com/catalog-pr...RoCRb8QAvD_BwE

Dennis Kirk says they have one in stock:

https://www.denniskirk.com/s-and-s-c...BoC5UMQAvD_BwE


There are also a few chinesium choices on Amazon, but I'd stick with the Milwaukee Twins given the choice...

There are a ton of used ones on eBay. Personally, I would order this one:
Pressure Switch

I have always had a good experience with Drag Specialties parts.

Really? Sure encouraging him to post with your warm post.

I would Google if anyone has cleaned these
Not positive I think fails in alarm. Could be bad wire.

I installed arlen ness pressure gauge that mounts to rear cylinder. It screws into existing sensor.

I'm not one of those members that welcomes every newby to the forum. My posts aren't meant to be warm or encouraging. Besides, he doesn't need encouragement to post since he obviously doesn't post. At least he hasn't in 19 years.

I am just saying why bother being a jerk? Some people unlike us, have better things to do.

Read what you wrote. He doesn't need encouragement to post, because he hasn't. Does that make sense to you?
