what is the best oil pressure gauge for my storm and where can I get one please?
After learning how low the oil pressure on a Harley is at idle, I think it would be handy to be able to look down and see what pressure ive got at the lights or similar...peace of mind thing...anyhow, ide appreciate any input...cheers.

I will tell you this though, when the bike is warm is reads maybe 1 lb , i beleive becasue of where it is its not entirely accurate (bike runs at neutral at about 3-5 lbs i think) but i like it whike on the road long drives etc, if anything seems odd i can check it to see if the pressure is dropping etc. It will read at about 40 psi at 120 klmph.

You would think that Triumph would be aware of this and do something to prevent the OP from dropping so low at idle,because ya know dam right well,that top end noise created from the low pressure at idle,is NOT doing the motor any good.
