Handlebar Thermometer.
#1

Don't hate me!!! But, I have this little item on 'another' bike I own and I missed having it on the CB. It fits perfectly and (to me...) looks good! Besides, they make quality stuff and the dealer is open Sunday's. Did I mention, the dealer is open Sunday's!!! Honda, and others, miss out on a lot of biz with their lousy operating hours.

I like it. Is that a Harley shield on the face?

Only problem I'd have with that...is that it's likely that if the face is in bright sunlight, you'll get an incorrect high reading.

My Suzuki Burgman and Toyota truck both have thermometers, sensory-units shielded from sun, on them...especially on a bike, it's easy to learn to...if not depend on it, consult it when dressing out. Eliminating subjective- is it really getting colder or is something else making me chilled like this?

I've seen little auto thermometers with a 20-inch sensor bulb that could be put down in shade somewhere.

Yeah... It's a Harley product. And yes, in direct sun, it does show a higher reading. It wasn't 90 here today...but the bike was sitting in the sun for about 1/2 hour before I took the shot. On the road, moving, or in the shade, it's much more accurate.

Popgun and I have the same one. Although I have never felt a need to know the temp of my handlebar. Smile

I seem to recall someone doing a nifty install of a thermometer on a 2013 that looked almost factory. I can't find the thread on taptalk, though.
