    Been thinking more about this and it seems that the only logical place I can do it is n the oil feed to the head, now I searched and the only item I could find was this: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.ecstuning.com/ES11178/">http://www.ecstuning.com/ES11178/</a><!-- m --> so today when I was at the hydraulic shop I asked them and they said they can modify my banjo bolt to take a sensor fitting s this might be helpful to anyone in my shoes.

    Well the banjo bolt is a bit too small for the sender so I am going to get a banjo hose made up with a T in the middle so I can run a hose off to the sender, so it will basically be: banjo - braided hose - T piece - braided hose - Banjo.

    Now the other problem I have is I can get a 100psi and an 80psi oil gauge, 80 is available in oz but the 100 I have to get from our supplier in the US so does anyone know the maximum oil pressure output of the FZR250 3LN-1?

    Anyone that it is interested, I am using Faria chesapeake ss black gauges as they will be a bit more resistant to the elements.
