Has anyone extended an oil pressure gauge line to go till the handlebar?

 

If your talking about a oil pres. hose to be connected to a pressure gauge you can do so with no pres. drop .?
Be sure to armour the line with flex tubing and run it so it is isolated from obvious vibration and stress areas.
Note : Harley motors do not pump oil by pressure , they pump by volume .
This will give you indications on a gauge that look like almost no oil pres. at idle .
See other posts regarding oil pres. gauges on a HD.

 

Yeha, my question si if there wont be any pressure drop and any other advise on how to do it? where to run the tubing to reach the handlebar? etc.

 

Why not use a pressure sensor and an electric gauge instead, like Harley does on their Electra Glides? No pressure drop through long, skinny tubing that way.

 

Since my experience on model specific parts are more for those that could fit my '93 Wide Glide, can please mention the sensors that can fit my bike?

 

There are too many risks IMHO of running an oil line to the handlebars. The two simplest options are either a gauge mounted on top of the cam chest, although that is obviously not where you want it, or use an electric gauge, as 91FLHS suggests.

For details of the pressure sensor go to Ronnies H-D parts website, where you can look at the parts list for '93 Electra Glides and identify the correct pressure sensor. IIRC it installs in the same place as the gauge I mentioned above.

If you have a factory service manual, the wiring diagrams should help you work out suitable wiring. The stock EG oil gauge can be mounted in an accessory pod very easily.

My favourite indy calls oil pressure gauges 'worry gauges'! They cause him more problems than they are worth, because what they tell owners is so commonly misinterpreted. So I suggest you think about this before doing it!

 

Also dont run a plastic line like they do in the auto gauges Oil Fires are not fun! Air turns them into blow torches. Ask me how i know? LOL

 

Stewart Warner makes a line of sensors and meters (the correct term instead of gauge) that you should be able to adapt to your bike. They have a 1/8 NPT sensor that should fit your bike.

 

Can you please point me directly to that sensor and gauge?
