Wild Steed Worx Again

[Five Five]

Hey just want to give everybody an update on the oil pressure gauges from Wild Steed Worx ... Here is a picture of the tappet screen setup ... I really like the WSW custom gauge cups, highly polished stainless steel with set screw... Thanks Kaptin :up:

Not to change the subject but......I've been meaning to post for a few months now about the sweet starter rebuild from WSW. Can't tell you how nice it is to go out to the garage for a ride, and no damn oil puddle under the K9!!!
The thing cranks great.

Hell yes ... my starter is working great too :2thumbs:

Nice set up:2thumbs:

Bill, I measured the gauge on my screen and it's 6x7 inches
Is it that big:roll::roll:

 

[I am Thor]

Got one coming my way ! Looks sweet

The Kaptain sure seems to be coming up with alot of good stuff for the Dogs. Thanks Curtis.

Bill,

Can you take a picture looking down at the gauge while sitting in the saddle. Thanks

I will get a picture posted when I get home

Thanks Bill...much appreciated.

Those guys at WSW are awesome.

Bill,

Why is the needle showing TOP pressure???? it is pointing as far as it can go!

You just started the bike and the oil is still cold?

 

[pknowles]

Here you go :up:

Your gauge is showing 0 to 30 psi and all I saw on their site is 0 to 60,. for us old farts, bigger(NOT MORE) numbers is better.

 

[KaptinAmerika]

Not to bash Bill at all, you the man, but thats why we like the 60psi at WSW. The needle basically stands straight up. Stright Up your good anything else and its time to be looking.
But the same applies with Bills, glance at it, if its pegged your good.

Kaptin is correct ... I got to be different so I went with a 0 to 30psi ... it will sweep to a full 40psi in my estimation, before it hits the zero needle stop. my rationale for the 30 psi gauge easier to read the lower pressure..

I also would like to consider something than the normal 60, but a little concern about it being pegged at times. Is there any effect on the needle or operation with being pegged like such for at times prolonged period (cold start up). Also what is your normal OP when it is warmed up and at cruising speed/idle.

Mine seems to be a little low lately, but not sure if it the pressure or gauge. Never trip the idiot light though, but at normal speed after warm up, between 15-20. I am thinking of cross checking with a different gauge or maybe do a rebuild on the OP.

Hey Tim ...my gauge has no needle stop at 30 psi mark, and it sweeps right past the 30 psi mark and comes to rest on the back side of the zero needle stop (cold start up) estimate around 40 + psi .... when warmed up it runs around 30 psi ± 3 when i'm rolling down the highway... at a stop in traffic (idle) it runs around 10 to 15 psi ....The gauge i'm running is a summit racing fuel pressure gauge, and i was a little concerned if it was going to read pressure at all because the inlet to the gauge had such a small opening around 0.040" in diameter ... but it works pretty good I like it

Thank you Five Five, going to change my gauge out after I check and make sure the screen is clean, and a few others things. If it still shows what maybe a little low, will go ahead and go with a HVHP rebuild kit.

Safe riding. Best to you and yours

Got my oil pressure gauge installed and it looks GREAT! Many thanks to Curtis and WSW.:2thumbs:
