    Since I have to change the lifters on my Sportster, I figured that this is the time to add an oil pressure gauge. Any suggestions on which one to use? Thanks.

    in my post on oil pressure I used an Arlen Ness gauge kit. it is liquid filled and mounts on rear rocker cover. I still question if the heat affects the gauge by creating pressure in the sealed gauge assembly. Have not had the time to move gauge to a different/cooler location away from heat soak when fueling up or try another gauge. as HRK said it just gives us something else to worry about lol

    Has anyone here ever use a VTwin gauge? That is what I ended up getting. I stayed away from Sifton, Derek gas never had good luck with those.
