Disabled the analogue gauges & want to replace with other gauges instead - Suggestions please?

[LeftCoast]

Both the fuel level and engine temp gauges on my 2015 RT have been disabled in favor of using the digital display on the screen. Consequently I want to remove both and replace them with something useful and I'd appreciate suggestions. USB ports? Volt meter? Push to eject button?

Thanks for any suggestions!

Passenger eject button and warp drive indicator. :roflblack:

I put in a Volt Meter & a Digital Clock...

Most folks put a clock and a USB. Pretty handy. Joe

My vote would be a 'Push to Pass' button. Second would be A button 'You SEE Me' so that Drivers Will NOT pull out in Front of Spyders.........:yes::yes::yes:........:thumbup:

I put in a Volt meter I got off ebay. It is 52 mm in size. I think it was under $25 but I don't remember now. Just ordered a 12 volt socket for the other side from JT's machine shop

My '14 RTS came from the PO with a Voltmeter on one side, and an oil pressure gauge on the other. The USB ports are in the middle of the buttons on the "dash". Sometimes buying used has it's advantages, lots of stuff I don't have to add. On the down side, there's stuff I've removed - XM Radio, SMH10, flag holders. And now it looks like I'll need a new front caliper.

I didn't get fancy. I used a 2 port USB on one side to charge Sena etc and a 12V outlet on the other for my GPS. A clock would require separate power from the battery. I just used the gauge power, works fine.

If I could get a couple of James Bond missile launchers those would be very handy.....

Appreciate the feedback everyone. I ride with an Apple Watch so I’m not sure if I’ll put in a clock or not. The dash clock as everyone has noted must run on some sort of “there are 400 days in a year” cycle it runs so fast.

A trip to the autoparts store is always fun.... volt meter, altimeter, usb/lighter, clock, oil pressure are some that come to mind....:thumbup:

This prompts a question from me. I'm not good with a wrench as has been well documented in some of my other posts, but oil pressure gauge vs the warning light on the panel. Is the gauge redundant?

Ah yes...many years ago we referred to those lights that came on when it was to late as "idiot lights"....a guage would let you know your oil pressure and condition. Of course now they do have the added feature of shutting you down when the light comes on to save you....volt meters let you know how your chargings is going and your consumption of said volts. Check out others you would like to watch in action. :thumbup:

I put a volt meter in the left side and air pressure gauge in the right side (air spring/bag)

Easy suggestions. What would be most useful to YOU? USB ports, voltmeter, compass, thermometer, oil temp gauge.......?

Flux capacitor?

Not sure, seems like a USB port could always be handy as I run my sena’s paired to my phone but I also carry a spare battery for it. I guess I might be leaning towards a voltmeter for the other one.

Spare dilithium crystals for Mr. Scott?

I've always wanted to install a nice RPG system with a dash mounted igniter. You know. For clearing out those pesky slow drivers blocking the roadway...
