The only parts that require oil pressure on the HD engine are the lifters, and going down to almost zero is normal when hot.
I believe the piston jets also require pressure. Just being picky. My oil pressure likes to hover around 30-34 psi at 60 mph with RedLine synthetic 20w-50. When really hot, it drops to around 8 psi at idle. Highest oil temp I have seen this season so far is 180 Deg F with an outside temp of 81 deg F.

Old rule of thumb:
10 pounds for every 1000 rpm is good.
