I had oil pressure, oil temp and water temp in a cluster where your HD controller is. The VDO gauges were color matched and fit really well so it's looked as stock as you can get. That would be my recommendation if you can swing it.
Note mine, but it looks like this minus the bling.

Be sure to do your research on the aftermarket oil pressure sensor. Unfortunately I can't remember the brand, but the one I had would trip my warning light at idle when the outside temp was above 70┬░. My leak down and compression tests were normal, so it was purely a sensor issue. I guess I could have put a piece of tape over it but it was pretty annoying.

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth
