HD recommends 60wt oil above 80 degrees F. and 50wt. above 60 degrees F. anyway. I don't know what oil others are using but with 15w-50 or 20w-50 the hot oil pressure with the Baisley spring in my bike is 8 psi idle and 35 psi at 2,000 rpm. It's a little higher when cold. The spring is a good deal but I think it would lead to excessive oil pressure with 60 wt.
Just my opinion, though.
