T150v Oil Pressure Gauge Kit?

[Tinkerbell]

Hi Everybody,
There is an oil pressure gauge kit for Tridents from Triples Unlimited in Greece --is it any good and has anybody used it? There is a big banjo bolt that goes up into an oil passage way --is this a good design?
Thank you!

The banjo bolt into one of the front main bearings (previously blanked by a 5/16 UNC bolt) oil ways on the T150, T160, and Rocket 3 is the most common point where most kits measure the oil pressure from. I have an "LP Williams" kit on my T160 which uses the same take off point.

I believe (if my memory serves me well) that Dave Madigan who resides in the USA made some kits with a take off mounted on the oil filter cap. I stand to be corrected. I don't know if these are still available.

There have been no problems with mine if that helps?

As good as any other.

Hi LAB,
So you don't see any possibility of reduced flow in the intended oil gallery? I am new to the Triple world and
everything seems to be critical --I don't want to pooch something.
Sincerely,

None whatsoever. The gauge connection is at the end of the gallery drilling so it can't cause a restriction.

Hi LAB,
Thank you--I have ordered a kit from John. I don't know if I will keep the kit on the T150 all the time, but it will be good to get a picture of the new bike in terms of oil pressure.
Sincerely,
Kara
