I did a search for this, and couldn't find anything within 200 results, is there anybody that is using one of these gauges? I'm seriously considering one, now that my bike is getting ready to come out of the shop, and was hoping for any feedback on them.
Thanks!

No, it's good, I must have ate stupidsmacks for breakfast, because I couldn't get the search engine to pull anything up with the parameters you told me earlier. Just now finally got it to work, and found the thread where BikerThug had his gauges set up. Not crazy about the gauge location, but the people that responded to the 'thread' seemed happy with the gauge readouts. Thanks again!

I like mine. I'm a sucker for gauges tho, makes me feel all techie n what not. Having run hot in the past, and has slight leaks in the past, I feel better knowing if I feel something funny I can glance down at the next stop and check the pressure. Again, it is one of those relative reference things like the temp gauge. You get to know what is normal, then you notice changes.

I guess now's as good a time as any. We've just completed prototyping our own oil pressure gauge setup. It's now in production and should be ready in next few weeks. More info to come.....  -brent

BRENT!!!! Thank you for telling me prior to me hitting the magic paypal button on the bp website! Your timing is close, yet impeccable. Would your set-up by chance be mounted in a more upright location, if you know what I mean?

Here's a VERY early prototype. Much has changed, including mount, oil line placement and gauge size, but it'll give you an idea of what we were shooting for.
We're looking at a price of right under $200.
Thanks for the interest! We hadn't planned on bringing this up yet but when the time's right.... Please let us know what you think about it.

I don't know how he does it! Say "I need a ****" and Brent says, "Coming right up". Order something from Newspeedmaster.com and you better look out the window as soon as you hit Enter because the delivery truck will be just pulling up your drive.

Brent, What are your thoughts on a handle bar mounted mini gauge cluster with oil temp, oil pressure, and ammeter?

I think they're cool. Dakota Digital makes some very nice gauges. But VERY expensive!!

Brent, it might be a good idea if you could consider an adapter if needed so the gauge could be mounted in the dash where the tacho goes.

Depending on actual placement, mounting etc you can colour me interested Brent. If you could source one of those 1/2 & 1/2 guages, one of those 2 in 1 things with guages at the top & bottom of the dial with temp & pressure all in one I'd put in my order right now.
