RE: Compass
All this talk about a compass reminded me of just how screwy the magnetic fields are .
I'm not far from an agonic line (West of Lake Michigan ) so compasses run fairly true here .
But the further away from the midsection well .......heres a link see for yourself .

RE: Compass
I assume it's a Harley gauge? If not thenwho makes a good Oil Temp gauge that fits in the dash then? Is it easy to install? I'm open to go with it and get a handlebar mounted Air Temp gauge... I do have the dipstick temp gauge, but I can't see it while riding, so would like to have one I can monitor while on the fly.

The H-D compass is pain to install and align. Every time I disconnected the battery for whatever reason I had to realign the compass. The last time it just kept spinning so I put the air temperature gauge back in. Find something better to put in there like the oil temperature or radar detector.
