Thinking about replacing my temp. guage with a compass. Has anyone done this and if so, how welldoes the compass work??

 

Anything must work better than the temp gauge ... I'm watching this one.

 

Yup....what Ben U said............

 

If you want a truly accurate compass, add a GPS unit.

I agree however, anythings better than a temp gauge that reads the temp inside the fairing(I want to meet the rocket scientist that came up with that idea)

Out of couriosity why not put a oil temp guage on? Isn't what most will replace that guage with?

I have a compass in my truck which is pretty much useless. I just ust the north star. J/k I see no need to know what direction I'm going. I always seem to get there.

 

Just suppose them Iranians or Koreans shoot one a them nuculear weapons over here and it blows up all the street signs. Don't you think the friggin compass would be good investment then??

 

My friend did this to his UG, says compass less accurate then temp gauage.

 

I would go with the an oil temp gauge and it's cheaper than the compass. It's a more "informative" gauge IMHO. I would rather know what is happening with my ride, than where my ride is taking me.

 

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.
