Triumph Oil Temperature Gauge

[Ketama]

Tell me guys, are they worth the money or just more bling? Have them on our farm tractors but are they needed on the Rocket or just nice to have?

Thought I was getting an Oil Pressure gauge! Had I had my eyes open would never have bought this overpriced puppy. I mean, what purpose? Can't see the bugger when you are riding unless you are in a fetal position!! A complete waste of hard earned coin . . .
Why don't the Triumph folks have both an Ameter and Oil Pressure gauges as well a bigger battery!??

I have one and it is nice when you are stuck in traffic to be able to keep an eye on your oil temp. But you can also get a really good estimation with your thigh also

Not worth it, and BTW it's smaller than the OEM dipstick.

Whats the point, when you've got a liquid cooling system to keep the motor (and oil) at the optimum temp :wink:

oil temp. (or pressure) and h2o temp would be nice on bars---instead of fuel gauge and clock add-ons. oil tank gauge is real nice for them fellers that ride off in triumph badged leathers off tha rack!!

Just buy an analog gage from Drag Specialties for a Softail and scribe new marks on it. I think I've got about $25 tied up in mine. And it doesn't say HD on it.

I've got one on mine . . . I rarely even look at it. It's more of a conversation piece than practical.

Like someone said before . . . it's not like you can push that little button to view it while riding . . . safely that is to say. :?

If I had to buy it . . . I wouldn't cause they're like $150?? I think new.
