Usuall by purcasing an adaptor which screws into where the current pressure sender is located allowing two take off points you can get them cheaper I believe

There's an oil gallery that runs trough the block with plugs in each end that Yamaha use to test the presure on the earlier 04-06 R1. You can replace the plug at one end with an adpter. Do a search and you should find the details.
Alternatives that have been used are a modified oil cooler bolt or a sandwich plate behind the filter. The gallery plug is an easier option in my opinion... provided it's still the same on the 08.
