That's actually pretty sweet. You planning on making it available for non-Softail models?

Tested with Polarized Sunglasses?

Have you checked to make sure that you can see the readout with polarized sunglasses?
Sometimes the displays go all purple and black, and you cant read them.

Otherwise, it's pretty cool.

How does it get the temp reading?

The temp reading is done via a bolt on thermister built-in to the cable harness. Its very acurate and bolts on to the block.
I will check the polarised Sunnies - Although I dont think it will be a problem because the mono lcd displays are great in sunlight and mostly its only colour that has the polarising problem. Good ooint though so I will double check.
