Oil pressure gauge - m8 Softails

[@DoRC]

Looks nice. For future reference you don't need thread sealant on AN fittings. They seal at the flare not using the threads.

BEWARE I ACCIDENTALLY STATED 120 FOOTPOUNDS FOR THE TORQUE ON THE HEADBOLTS. ITS 120 INCH POUNDS OR 10 FOOT POUNDS

Nope I've since sold the bike. I'd only wrap my exhaust if it was covered in scratches and I wanted to hide them. I prefer the look of exhausts unwrapped

[@paulwest4424]

Don’t like to be “that guy” but are the rocker box cover bolts really torqued to 120lbft of torque? Other than that awesome informative video and good recording most can’t do both. Keep up the good work 🤘🏻

[@TheGingybeardMan]

All good man, I cocked up. If you look at the 1st comment I pinned you will see I listed the correct torque setting.

I've sat on the bike with the gauge and my legs don't touch it but it does come fairly close. If you're shorter than me 5 foot 9 I'd say your leg would touch which is a pain cause the gauge gets pretty warm.
