    I will throw in the requisite warp drive/dilitheum crystal indicator--but some others will have better ideas.

    Default Choices choices..!!

    volt meter, oil pressure, altimeter, batt condition, etc found at most auto parts stores or online. Many have done them here so you could search this place for other choices.....

    IT would be cool if I could find a digital compass to go there.

    A digital compass WOULD be cool!
    Question: Every time I tried to put a compass on anything other than a plastic toboggan; it'd go crazy! Have they finally improved the shielding and calibration on the modern units?

    Dakota digital makes a gauge that has a built in gps unit specifically for MC's. it is a digital compass/clock/temp/altimeter. it is for a harley but looks like it will fit in our dash. May be interesting.

    If I can sneak the money by mama.

    Try telling her that you need it, so that you can get home to her quicker...
    She won't believe it; but she'll LIKE hearing it!

    EDIT: I looked over Dakota Digital's website... there's some REALLY COOL stuff in there!
    But... for $280 bucks; you'll need to be on your "A"-Game with her!

    Geiger counter. Unless you have a white spyder, then you are safe. White repels radiation.

    For those who added clocks, what kind of clock did you use?

    I have a clock that doesn't show the time. It shows the days of the week instead.

    For me it's a power outlet and a USB charging port.

    For me I would go with a Digital Voltmeter. Easy install and it monitors your battery condition as you travel. This is especially useful information if you are running heated gear or auxilary lights when riding at low rpm's (Battery does not receive a charge when rpms are less than 4000...don't know about the 2014's.)

    Of course if you want a variety of information you can go with Dakota Instruments GPS-Powered Compass, Altimeter and Ambient Air Temp Gauge that retails for $279.00 or so. http://www.dakotadigital.com/index.c...rod/prd953.htm

    The 2" round gauges fit your pods so any auto store should have what you need. You can spend anywhere from $20.00 to $150.00 for a voltmeter gauge so shop around. Marine gauges tend to be more weather resistant but I used a cheapo from E Gauges, sealed it with clear silicon, and never had a problem when it got doused numerous times with water.

    Good luck with your search.
