I'm tired of replacing the pressure gauge every year or so. I think the vibration is killing them, but I'm not sure. Any recommendations from someone that has more than 5000 miles with a gauge that works well?


Thanks!

Chacha, I melted every gel filled gauge I tried when I lived in Southern Kal. But it was damn hot down there! Dealer finally got me the (then new) dry Autometer and that was about 4 or 5 years ago and it's still working fine.
Oh, it has a few miles on it also!! :D

By the way, I like your setup with the black hoses. :2thumbs:

Thanks guys. Appreciate the info - I saw recommendations in other threads, but needed some feedback on ones with miles on them :2thumbs:

Raywood - thanks, the hoses are from JEGGS. You'll see them at the Chip :cheers:

ChaCha, I bought the basic HD logo one a coupel of years ago. It is held up right and would say over 5K on it so far. Not the easiest to read while rolling but it does the job. Think is was like $30

1 mndg -- Thanks, I hate anything with his logo on it, but I can't argue with 20,000 miles of success!

:cheers:
 
I have the Arlen Ness as well. I wasn't impressed with the gauge but I bought the setup because it made it much easier to read on the rocker box and figured the gage would be easy to replace. Well the gage is still working after 7k on it so I'll wait it out but I think the only reason the gage still works is because of the location.
