Thermometer

Can anyone recommend a small digital type thermometer? I had one on the VFR800, missed it when i moved onto the Mille, and somehow expected the GS to have one centigrade preferred!

I've got one of these, but becareful you don't get water in it!

And remember to turn it onto outside temp!!!!!!!!

It even comes with velcro patches!

Sorry! www.maplin.co.uk

Its even got a sensor which I stick on the end of the beak!

It's Maplin's product code: GW57M.

I have one under the dash on my 1150 with the external sensor glued under the front of the beak (I've also shortened the sensor wire but cutting, soldering and shrink-wrapping).

As others have said, they stop working when you wash the bike (but I've never had a problem when riding in the heaviest rain), but they do come back when they have dried out a bit.

At under £8, it's a handy item.

whatton63, how'd you mount that under the console? I have a Halford's clock/thermometer, but no bracket. Also, does the yoke foul the thermometer at all on full lock?

I have mine in the same position using the velcro patches that come with the Maplins unit.

whatton63 appears to be using some plastic-coated pipe clips.

Its mounted using two of these spring clips (black plastic coated though) attached using the shortest self tappers I could find. And no, it's not in the way of the steering lock. I was getting odd temp readings due to heat rising from the engine, so I've moved the sensor under the beak.
