Same here. From another thread, this seems to be the concensus.

Thanks guys!&nbsp\\;That's about where I'm at. I got a little worried when I saw it so low at idle.

I thought mine was zero PSI the other day.&nbsp\\; I put my glasses on and it was 6 to 7.&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; 32 to 35 at cruise.&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; It can be hard to read at idle.

Had a 78 shovelhead that ran around 4 to 5 lbs. at idle.

My '00 roadglide is about 8 lbs. at idle and 32 at cruise.&nbsp\\; I'm pushin&nbsp\\; 60,000 miles
