15/16 or 1 1/16 depending on what bike and oil press. switch, what are you doing putting a oil press. gauge? I have a 2005 road king had the long oil press. switch 1 1/16, I took off the oil filter housing to get to mine and just used a 1 1/16 wrench.

RE: oil pressure gauge install
I used standard tools / sockets. But did remove the oil filter housing as 'pvbjr' mentioned.
I didn't want brass and my sender was for the marine gauges and slightly larger then H-D style stock for Ultra or EG with oil psi gauge.
Went with annodized steal hydralic fittings upto 3000psi. I know its a bit much on the psi, but didn't want anything cracking from vibrations.
the thumbnail is one attachment, and the word attachment 2 is the second, weird how that worked out!!
