And on that note I think oil press/water temp gauges are justified even on a stock machine due to the inaccuracies of the "dummy" gauges. I definitely think Honda could have given me something to hang my hat on for this one.

No problem hope I could help! however I would also investigate some more as I am about to do. I am pretty positive this is the case... however, i can not recite this as fact! Also please throw me a bone if you find something out to the contrary. Thanks!
