Any oil pressure gauge will do.

If you get an electric one then you need to run the sender off a bit of hose, the engine vibrations will kill it otherwise.

The standard light sender sits in a big bung, you can undo this and tap to whatever your fitting is

I got this reply when I asked about the thread size on a 919 Blade.

The thread is M10 x 1.5 but it might be easier to remove the boss that it screws into and retap it 1/8 npt as most of the aftermarket senders use this. The boss can be removed from the main oil gallery using a 17mm socket but it is real tight usually. Be creful when refitting the boss as it is M2o fine and easily cross theaded

Cheers
Tony

In would go with a stack mechanical one. Not too expensive and good quality. I have one on my s2000 engined mnr
