Your hot idle oil pressure should be 5-10 PSI
Running down the road warmed up engine 30-35 degrees would be fine
Do not put much faith in H D gauges, when in doubt check your PSI with a master gauge

At least you have a number to look at. On my 2020TG all the information system says is that the oil pressure in OK. WTF is that.

Cheap by the MOCO
It is a good thing these air cooled twins can run and even last on low oil pressures
Damn things have run for years on volume @ low pressures
I really dislike idiot light systems on any thing JMO

No one has addressed the shocks I swapped out for Pro Action out of Beaver Falls PA. Hands down the best thing for ride. They are a small business locally-owned and they answer the phone to help with questions. Travel safe Fred

i ordered the pro action from dk customs will see how it works
I can tell you from personal experience they work GREAT . . . and countless others will also. Prepare to enjoy!
I have Pro action from DK on my trike and Suspension Technologies on my RKC both work great!
On my 13 I was shocked to see my oil pressure drop to zero waiting in heavy traffic. Ridiculous how hot it gets too.
The first 65 years of childhood is the hardest.
You will wonder why you waited so long.....
We appreciate Your business, & glad you're enjoying the improved suspension!
Oil pressure should not drop to zero...5-10 is fine. Zero is not.
Yes, heat is a big issue, you may find this video series we did on how to reduce the heat useful-
