Kevin,

Last June I installed put in a dual VDO oil pressure gauge and I love
the piece of mind it provides  especially when you are far from home.

Here are my pressure numbers on a 1990 Westy 2.1L with 145,000 miles
running 20W50 regular oil.

At startup: 60 psi
After fully hot:
900 rpm = 12 psi
3000 rpm = 35 psi
