That would be handy if you are driving and experience sudden and total oil pressure loss.
 
Looking great. Congrats on another fine Cruiser!

If it had tarnished TNK wiper arms on it and you are looking to sell, I'd like to be first in line.

Speedway sells them for what it would cost to ship these
 
The Wizard showed up when I complained about burning my ass during the cam burn in.

He booted up the sausage CAD machine

Tidying things up today.

Someone pointed out the oil pressure gauge was not working in my video. I had selected BIM cable and not sensor. Fixed after scratching my head for a bit.

Not sure if anyone outside the 45 section saw the incredible 45 LPB bumper he built that I have on my 45. Amazing. 45 SWBs can’t really have bumpers like that so we wanted to find something from his shop for Seminole.

Jack made this work of art at his machine shop in Jacksonville and timed the creation and delivery of serial number 001 perfectly.

Yeah they’re other HD 8274 bumpers out there but this one matches the OEM lines. Not straight C or chopped.

Perfect. It weighs a stout 42# empty.

Stout, subtly different, just perfect.
 
Thank you, excited to be a part of this project. I have been wanting to do this for awhile. We are making a few more assuming everything fits. Laser cut, CNC folded and welded here in the USA.

I was going to ask how exactly you built it, but didn't want to ask you to share trade secrets. Love it. I can't stop looking at it.
