What can I replace the analog temperature and fuel gauges with?

[Huddleston]

As has been noted in other messages, you can unplug the analog temperature and fuel gauges, to activate the digital display of this information. I'm looking for suggestions as to what other gauges I can use in place of the two non-functioning temperature and fuel gauges. What have any of you done?

Warp speed indicator and
An altimeter? :dontknow:
The choice is yours, and it's a great big World in which you're shopping! :thumbup:

Autometer voltmeter and oil pressure. Bought them from Summit Racing for about $60 each and they match up well.

Most have done oil pressure and volt meter. There are lots of other possibilities though.

I like the idea of an altimeter because I frequently go from sea level to over 6000 ft on my rides. It all depends where I go. I live at 750 ft--about 1/2 mile from Cook Inlet--Knik Arm. My handy dandy watch with the altimeter works--but is a PIA to get information on a ride. Un-needed information--but cool to know just for the heck of it. :roflblack:

expensive, but I like the accuracy, and the ease to read at a glance also ordered a rubber boot for the backing to assist in water resistance. Keep in mind the oil pressure gauge needs a special fitting that I had to order separately, something about metric vs.standard:dontknow:

Also in this thread from 2010 others posted

You can also replace the gauges with 12v and/or USB 5v weatherproof power sockets.

Steve,
I like that cupholder! :2thumbs:
Question: Can you go full "lock-to-lock" with the bars when it's in a deployed positon? :dontknow:
(I park with my bars cut full-right; but have to do some left-to-right wiggling, to get it in the garage...)

 

[stevedfive]

Yes, you can. I added a Ram mount all of the drink holders, so I can use any of the three drink holders (Butler, Ram drink holder, or Drink2go holder) on the front or the passenger area. The Butler and the Ram are already pictured.

I also have a Ram Ball cup holder in the right side and a voltage gauge in the left.
you can turn the bars full right or left.

 

[Wiredux]

I just put the blanks in mine. No need for anything else.

 

[Huddleston]

Thanks for all the good ideas

Thanks guys and gals for all the good ideas! I even like the cup holder idea.

 

[RodMyers]

[RTVIPER]

I put a 12v outlet on one side. :yes:

GPS SUN SHIELD

Autometer voltmeter and oil pressure. Bought them from Summit Racing for about $60 each and they match up well.

Impressed with the GPS sun shield, where can one be purchased? Thanks in advance for any information.

Were did you find the blanks?

 

[Wiredux]

Were did you find the blanks?

I ordered them from BRP. I'll see if I can find the part number. I want to say they were $7 each.

Teddy had me do a Ram-Mount LED lit Cup-Holder & of course, his Teddy-Cam LCD

 

[Bob Denman]

Thanks Steve! :thumbup:
