 What should oil pressure be at idle on a stock 2009 streetglide 96 cu with about 50k on it.

They idle low. I wouldnt worry unless lifters start ticking. Maybe 8 lbs. The service manual refers to this

At normal operating temp, about 8 to 12 psi.  The hotter the oil gets, the lower the pressure, and it's been common to see 5 or less when really hot.

What Jerry stated has been what i was seeing with our bikes.   Really worried me down here in the FL heat.  To correct try to mitigate this in the past I had tried using the shims etc to raise the oil pressure.   The beauty of an S&S blue cam plate and oil pump.   was seeing about 4 lbs  before changing out... after replacing it with the S&S plate/pump is about 12+ lbs. at idle and 32 on top end.  while expensive felt it was well worth it.
