I don't see those numbers with the Baisley spring. Of course I'm reading the factory oil pressure gauge.

I run low 40's hot at speed and 15ish at idle hot. I'd have to go fire it up to recall the cold idle psi, but it's not over 20psi.

I wonder if your Digital gauge is off, or maybe the factory gauges are off and our bike really aren't that bad off to begin with, LOL.

But you know what I did different?

I modified the filter adapter. I opened those 1/8" pipe fittings to a 3/8 pipe, which is the proper size for -6 fittings.

I felt those 1/8" fittings were to restrictive. Just a thought.
