Thermometers

[Chrisk7]

Does anyone know of a small thermometer out there that will mount or stick somewhere on the dash without a lot of trouble or extra junk?

I really don't want to go with the larger ones with the clock and alarms because of the size of them.

I would like to find something that is like a food probe type with out the metal probe sticking out the back.

Aerostitch has a bunch...

why do you guys need a thermometer on a bike?

When I'm sweating, its hot.

When I'm chilly, its cold.

When I'm not on the bike - I'm just wasting my life.

Dang, Groo always knows where all this stuff is. Musta been a librarian in a past life.

Doesn't the '06 have one built into the display? Personally, I'm like Mike, if it's hot... I'm hot... knowing how hot won't make much difference. If it's cold, I'm cold... gotta get some electrics to fix that...

Yep. I think I had it turned on one time for a minute. I've been more interested in monitoring the gas milage as I go through break in.

Yes, it's called the 2006 FJR 1300

When it's cold out I like to know what temp it is so I can be aware of the potential for ice on the road.

When it's hot out I like to know "how hot" so I can have some idea of how much water I need to be drinking. If it's 100 degrees I can drink at my normal pace and not be worried about dehydrating. If it's 110 degrees I like to know that so I can constantly remind myself to take in even more H2O.

I never used to see much of a need for a thermometer either, at least until I had one on my VFR. Now when I don't have it, I miss it. I ordered one from Aerostich.

You're getting 17mpg, look at the thermometer

I mounted a thermometer like the aerostitch #2240 on the fairing of my FJR. I have one on each of my bikes. They are accurate & cheap.

Since I'm involved in farming, we use them all the time to get soil temp, pulp temps, etc. I get them at farm supply places for about $8.00.

I find it interesting to note temperature changes as I ride through the countryside!

Plus this gives us lo-techies who don't have GPS to eyeball something to do :lol: .

.....17 mpg if you look at the screwed up real time guage, but 42 if you look at the average.

The fish tank thermometer is the ticket.....

I'm impressed! You guys watch the display that close? This bike is fast enough for me to glue my eyeballs to the road. The tach is all you really need anyway :blink:

Good one more post to become a pilot without training wheels.......

My buddy just bought a nice thermometer from Yamaha with an 06 FJR connected to it.

Now I think I need a thermometer.

What would you think if you saw me rolling up my off ramp shaking the blood back into both of my hands at the same time? Look ma, no hands! :yahoo:
