Hope you sort things,
Get a pressure gauge on it at some point to check all is well and give peace of mind.
MadHatter don't phooter at it
Diagnose.it to be sure.its a fairly standard fitment to get a gauge in where your pressure switch is

Do you guys have a recommendation for a permanent fix oil pressure gauge?

I think I’d carry out a few more checks on the oil pressure.
Try removing the plug caps,engine cold.
Crank the engine till the oil light goes out,stop cranking.
How long does the oil pressure light stay out.?
A really good engine will hold pressure for up to 20 secs.
If the oil light comes on straight away you’ve potentially got problems.
unless you can find a T that has a spigot on the short side and being truthful with you
You REALLY don't want a gauge permanently fixed Your eye will be drawn to it and it will drag you in
Red Light No Red Light Works very well
Trust me on this one!!
Just ordered an oil pressure test gauge kit to check it out properly - better safe than sorry. I am still going to drain the tank and clean the fuel tap filter though because I think there is some thing going on with fuel supply to the carbs. The carbs are definitely good though because they are completely refurbished items. I’ll let you know how it goes.
As an aside, I love working on these bikes, they are so simple but full of character
The last bike I worked on had a stutter at higher speeds, especially under load as in hill climbing. The previous owner had fitted new floats but hadn’t set the fuel level in the bowls. Under hard load the bowls emptied too much causing fuel starvation. I had checked fuel flow from the taps and eliminated potential vacuum in the tank. Needle stop on the floats tweaked and now taken up to 90 and held there with no stutter.Well, I drained the tank and checked out the fuel tap and gauze filter, all ok, no blockage. Very odd. Next step oil pressure test when the gauge arrives next week
I’ve decided to entrust my basic to the Mikeyboy for some TLC ��
It could end up looking like this…if your not careful and pockets are deep.
