Yeah I know. On my other bike I have been surprised by the pressure variations. I did this project really for something to do over the winter and for looks than anything else. The next is replacing the handlebars with new stainless apes. That should take the rest of the winter cold to complete if I take my time on it and stretch out the work.Go ahead, I dare ya.

I have my Oil Pressure Gauge in the same location. For some reason , I can only get about 5-6 weeks before the cover lens spider webs. They have never leaked , but it's irritating to look down and see these cracks. I've tried multiple gauges with plastic and glass lens , and everyone splits.

I HIGHLY doubt actual glass spiderwebbed.

Thanks for the comment Tim . This last gauge I installed is supposed to have a glass lens. Even so , why would any lens crack without being touched by anything ?

Materials expand and contract with heat and cold respectively so the tolerances are to tight in your gauge and as a result cracked you lens or spider cracked it.

No. It is the port for checking oil pressure. It's in the service manual under checking oil pressure.
The silver motor and the black motors are not the same fitting. same banjo differant bolt size.
