Everything that I put on the bike before I sold/traded it.

I'm surprised I haven't seen it mentioned more, but the flush mount led gas gauge. Technically I didn't buy it, the previous owner did, but it's still a piece of junk. First, a couple of led's died on it. Then when riding in rain, it would stop working, and a few days later it would work again, but would be all fogged up. Lately it's been flashing between full and empty. And finally, it died completely. I can't tell you how happy I am that it finally died, but I'm afraid that it will come back to life soon.
Also haven't had any problems with the LCD oil dipstick.

I was at the dealership today & asked them about the LED dipstick & whether they had many complaints about them.
The parts guy said they used to have trouble with them but he hadn't had any complaints in a while.

My husband wants one for his '07 Ultra but they don't make the analog thermometer for Ultras.
He'll have to get a digital one if he gets one at all.
He said that for the money HD wants for that light-up dipstick, he'd just buy one that he could put in the dash in the place of the POS air temp gauge.

So I'm wondering if anyone has bought one in the last year or so & had it work just fine?

I guess I have been lucky. I read every post and I cannot think of anything exept after market rear brake pads. Burned off in about 5000 miles.

One thing that i don't like on my bike (previous owner had installed) is the chrome braided wires, wish he'd had the black ones installed instead.

I have one on my '07 EGC for about a year and a half and other than a little oil seepage into the face it still continues to work fine and contrary to comments on the forum from dissatisfied users.....I like mine...

The dash mounted guage is far more practical. You can read it when your driving!

anything kuryakan the chrome is a different shade than the Harley crome, anyone else notice their chroming? Now they have different Ideas that are good at times but I cant get past what i believe is cheap looking chrome.
