Both needles swing wildly and it destroys the little liquid filled mechanical gauges in short order. I even plumbed in a large spin on fuel filter between the regulator and carbs, thinking it might calm it down a bit. Didn't change a thing, but I guess that since liquids don't compress, I should have known better. Does anyone else have this problem?

only problem I have with a buzzer, it it better be friggen loud. Could be a bit hard to hear at 90-100mph with twin 900s, blowers, and wind screaming in your eardrums. A bright led light on the dash, will catch your attention.

Why not build a "shut down" circuit that kills the ignition if fuel or oil psi falls below a threshold?
bells and whistles are good indicators, but a human still has to recognize them and then react.

what am I missing here?

I think the dash warning lights will be fine. Likely it won't be an issue anyway but just want to be on the safe side. I can react and back out of the throttles with a warning and go about my day but cutting an engine out at 90 plus is disaster. Been there twice and it's not what I would say is a good time. You can have your hands full in a hurry. Lol...

During the day, you can`t miss em, at night they are blinding, usually have to throw a towel over them.
Since we have headsets the buzzer wouldn`t work.
