You can take either one of these ports out, and replace it with a sender or tube adapter for a gauge.

Reply #3 - 04/12/16 at 19:37:32 I think at idle it drops to 5 psi, maybe more on a new savage. another good reason not to lope along at speed. yeah, 50 at speed. And as far as a pressure gage, I think this would be a good application for an idiot light. Honda has them on the '71 cb500. I don't know if it's compatible though.

Reply #7 - 04/13/16 at 21:07:28 the 71 CB500 oil pressure sending unit could be made to work if I find the right fittings or just do something similar to this: http://forums.sohc4.net/index.php?topic=114086.0

Reply #8 - 04/14/16 at 03:48:41 Trail Tech has a lot of metric fittings to adapt their temperature sender.....I bet one would work for the pressure sender.
