I have a 2000 with a gauge, but don't have a stock oiling system.
Hot idle, you could see as low as 5 psi, maybe lower.
Mine will stay over 15psi hot idle, ~ 35psi at 3000 .
Go to your local parts shop and buy a cheap ($40) mechanical car gauge and measure it.

Relief spring upgrade kits for harleys to tailor your oil pressure . depending on what climate

Thanks Perthhog and Hoodeng. Reason i need oil pressure at idle is for Turbo as one i have is bush as opposed to bearing. dont want to chance it running without enough fluid.
