The Show Chrome Accessories “Digital 5-Function Volt Meter” Oh yeah - as usual, I didn’t want to spend a fortune. My three biggest requirements for an ambient temperature gauge were: 1) It had to be visible in the dark, thus it had to have its own illumination 2) Not be battery operated and 3) Of course, it needed to be pretty much waterproof. On my commute I have to traverse two ridges of the Appalachian Mountains, and the weather at home can be entirely different to what’s happening along the way or at work.įor example, yesterday’s temperatures (mid January) fluctuated from a low of 25 degrees F (-4 C) to a high of 41 F (+5 C) and this swing repeated several times through the nearly 50-mile commute. I also find it interesting to see how temperatures will fluctuate with altitude changes during the different seasons. This might seem like a minor issue, but I find that a temperature gauge is very helpful during the winter to help determine the possibility of freezing conditions. ![]() So when I purchased my 2002 BMW R1150GSI was a bit disappointed the instrumentation didn’t include one. For the past 8 years and 180,000 miles, all of my motorcycles had an ambient temperature indicator installed. ![]()
