Harley "Air Temperature" Gauge

[Boss]

What is the use of it specially down South where the temperature can reach 100 degrees?

[axxell33]

hmm.. everything I have ever seen about it says it's just for ambient temperatures.. in other words, the temp outside. I heard the glides were comin with em.. and I have also heard that they weren't very accurate. Do you have one mounted in your dash?

Or atleast I think that is what you're referring to. I don't think there are any intake measurements or anything taken on any Harley.

i reckon its a butt-sweat-o-meter

I have one on the dash and would rather change it out or convert it to read outside temperature instead.

[CRAIGERHD]

You guys are kiddin.?.....right ?? Boss ?.......

[Boss]

Toss me a bone Craig...Does it matter what type of climate environment I'm in?

[gruss]

I'm hot !! i dont need a fuggin guage to tell me that..............:fatbob

[CRAIGERHD]

NOPE. Although it is a good spot to put a oil temp gauge.

[axxell33]

yup, u should get u an oil temp gauge..

let your sweaty crack tell you how hot it is outside, lol

[Boss]

I would rather have that (oil temp gauge) if the AMBIENT thingie is of no issue...

[CRAIGERHD]

Don't have a clue as to why H-D put that thing there ??? fuggin useless.. But then again they do know that,so that's why they sell other gauges for that. I could go on and on bout stuff they know yer gunna change, that's why they put most of the stock stuff they do.

No huge revelation here tho.

Y'all missed the piont of it, it tell ya how hot your seat is!!!!:fatbob:fatbob

I think they had to balance out the dash with that hole and the temp was the cheapest thing they could put in it. it attempts, I think, to give you a temp not affected by airflow or sun heating the fairing. Have noted if your freezing yur ass off, that knowing how cold it "really is" dosnt help much. visa versa heat.

[JimP]

So whether hot or cold the best guage is the ass-o-meter huh? wave wave

[Boss]

Haaaaa! :babs:babs:babs - The ass-o-meter - wave:)


When I start sliding down the seat is when I know I'm already sweating!

I changed that stupid air temp gauge for oil temp gauge a long time ago. Stupid, wasted, gauge. They could have made it useful and put a coffee cup on the cold side and a beer can on the warm side. That way I would know when it was beer thirty.
