The other problem with these things is you can become obsessed with the readings. You can't see the temp unless you push the button and you can't do that unless you are stopped. This is the time the oil temp will most likely be the hottest. So what value is this information really. Unless you are diagnosing a problem it's just one more thing to give you anxiety while riding. IMHO I have more important things to be worried about while on two wheels.

POS..................
Waste of money original battery went dead in the first week, replaced it and that one lasted about a week.... Took it back to the dealer they gave me one in warranty that POS only lasted 2 weeks before it did same thing, I have replaced the battey about 4 times now. Whent back to the stock took the POS back to the dealer..... Also as already stated you cant see or use it unless your stoped....
Don't waste your money spend it on something that works..............

I've had 3 of them, 2 on a dyna and 1 on a 07 touring and they all quit, at which point they became $100 chrome oil dipsticks. I really don't have a rational explanation why i continued to buy them after the first one failed.

Why do you want to see your oil temperature anyways? It is what it is! Use Synthetic oil as it won't degrade at higher temps and forget about it.

If you are concerned about oil temp add an extra $$ and install an oil cooler.

Mine was a POS!! Fell apart inside the whole. Had to fish the pieces out. Glad I saved my original dipstick.

If ya think it looks pretty and you like the little blue lights, get it. If you want to know if the oil is hot, your legs will tell you that. If you want to know if the oil level is low, the dipstick will tell you that. Personally, I have not ever had one, but I have heard mayy complaints for people that have wasted their money on one and been dissappointed.
