I have the HD oil pressure gauge kit. So far no trouble. Iam using abraided line instead of the black plastic line that's in HD's kit.

I have read several complaints about the gauge in the HD kit. So far, no problems for me. Some have went with the autometer gauge

If you have the baisley spring the 100# gauge would be a better option.

Arlen Ness has a gauge kit that sells for $140

I've got the Arlen Ness Rocker Box mounted guage kit. I've got my bike all torn apart right now so I haven't "ran" it yet. Hope it works as good as it looks.

Just a note.... I have ridden my scoot with the guage all mounted up, just not plumbed up. The rocker box mounted type didn't get in my way or bother ME while riding. Just know though that the thing gets as hot as everything else does if you do touch it.
