Do they make any other gauges? I've tried calling them a bunch of times and nobody ever answered.

only one other than what you have, here is the site page.

Yeah I have a Jerzee on the Bagger, but i have a spare (backup) Arlen ness full kit. We were thinking of sending the bracket to his machine shop and letting them make a few for anyone wanting one, but that person would need their own gauge, oil line and fittings. Just in talks now but we were discussing a dual gauge setup also. And I know someone on the forum page use to have one but couldn't remember who. You don't happen to remember do you? Was it Erik, Jeff (dead one), I honestly can't remember but I do know they messaged me about it years ago.
Naw I dont remember who that was that had that

What size is to gauge hole Autometer makes them 2 1/2 seems to be a popular size for both air volts or oil and lots of other ones.
Yes...they look pretty nice and like you said, they make the whole array of options (Oil, air, volts).
If they fit...perfect.

If you are having a bracket made you can tell them the hole/ holes size you need.
Yes but the bracket that we are having made is a copy of the arlen ness oil pressure bracket they use to make for our motors. The bracket can only fir a 1.5 to 1.75 inch gauge without modifying the bracket. If you use the middle and rear rocker box bolts, and put a bigger gauge in and modify the bracket it would probably dig into your inner thigh while riding. You could use the front and middle rocker box bolts depending on your air cleaner type, but I know with the S&S induction dual runner you cant use those 2 bolts because the bracket doesn't clear the air breather. Or I should say the gauge housing doesn't not the actual bracket.

I agree, I prefer to stay on the back Rocker and also find the same size gauges. Also, retaining the look/design of the Arlen ness. I had also been thinking about the possibility of the dual bracket impeding leg movement. I'll take all that into consideration before sending it.

The air gauge mount bracket that Donna has for 129.99 will fit your rocker box...the air gauge bracket can also be used for a oil gauge....all you have to do is buy a 1 1/2 oil gauge. I recommend a 60 lb gauge. Accel, marshall, Morocco and some many others make a oil filled gauge that will fit the cup. I have inatalled several and they look good

I saw that earlier...went ahead and bought a new air line for the gauge from Donna. I just bought the air ride kit a while back and haven't installed it yet. I had already bought a really nice set of Shocks from Curtis about 18 months ago and wanted to get a few more miles on them before I changed over to air. I know once I change them the other Shocks will just end up in a box. Anyway, I've got several other things to take care of to finish up the bike so I can ride.

Here's a dual-mount setup from Wimmer. Close...but I still like the Ness styling. So, while replacing all the speedo/tach parts, I changed from the Red Dakota to the Blue because I couldn't see the red in bright sunlight. I think it would look really cool if I did a dual-mount setup (Oil pressure/Air pressure) in a Blue Digital Gauge set. Anyone familiar with the wiring??? Do I simply need a Hot/Ground for power?
