Ambient thermometer

[Big Sky]

What is a popular ambient air temp indicator commonly used on 1st Gen FJRs and where can one be acquired? How/where is it being installed? Pics?

If this has been covered, I apologize in advance for being a Search Luddite.

my thermometer is mounted with Radio Shack industrial grade sticky foam tape

top right with the sensor just under the dash plastic

it has a switch between a sensor in the screen and a remote sensor; I blacked out the yellow colored switch

Harbor Freight Digital Thermometer

When the weather rock is wet, it's raining.

When the weather rock is dry and bright, it's sunny.

When the weather rock is at an angle, it's windy.

When the weather rock is white, it's snowing.



I don't think there is a commonly used temp gauge for Gen Is. Check out This one. Stops working when it gets wet, but some people use them.

Another type

Stick on

I might get one of the three below. Easy to install, not too spendy, waterproof and shockproof, designed with motorcycles in mind.

Really nice waterproof stick on

Same in black for cheaper

Another face style

I definitely need the one that measures down to -58 F; this is Montana after all where the coldest temp ever recorded in the lower 48 occurred on Roger's Pass: -70F.

Thanks for the good tips.

My gawd...is this for real? The one on the far right looks like a DirecTV remote. Where's the dish mounted?

You ought to redo this picture with a cold one in the holder...Sierra Nevada green would match well.

I've seen the bike. Well, he's put that wart on the side of it that he calls an air horn since I saw it. It really does have all that stuff.

I think he thinks the front is too light when he twists the throttle, he's just weighing it down, see.
