where to get oil pressure gauge?
08 Feb 2010 08:02
I checked Z1, and eBay but couldn't find any at reasonable prices...I thought a simple gauge like this would cost like 10 bucks, can I get a gauge from the auto parts store?

what I will do is go to my local auto parts place and see if they can order one for me, if not I have family in buffalo so I will send it there and when we visit I will pick it up...just would save some hassle if they shipped here.

Are you needing a pressure gauge for measurements on your new build to confirm oil pressures in the case or as to leave in the bike while running down the road?

Try these guys,
www.mcmaster.com
. Their warehouse is the place you want to be stuck in if there is ever a national emergency. It may take a while to go through the catalog but they have everything, and pretty good prices too.

If I remember correctly, you have Autozones up there don;t ya?
~ $20... You'll most likely have to adapt a coupler (metric) but ACE or any other hardware store up there should have that....

I suppose I don't need to keep it in the bike permanently, but it would add a little bling I mainly just want it for when I start her up for the first few times to see if things are ok ...anyways, the issue with the above gauges is that they all go to 100 psi, I of course am ideally looking for far less.
