Thermometer on SV?
 
Hi All,

I want to add a thermometer to the SV as I commute all year round unless it's going to be icy or snowing - however I'd like to add the thermometer for late evenings so I know if there is a chance of ice on the roads.

i was thinking about something like this but was wondering if anyone else had any ideas or has done this?

I suppose you could stick that pretty much anywhere.
Would be able to see it in the dark though... Maybe one with a back light would be better?

Bit of a gimmic though perhaps, I mean, if it's cold, there might be ice. You don't really need a thermometer for that.

But for 2 quid, why not!

The breath test has always worked for me ;). And if you're already travelling and the temp drops, are you gonna stop? I think you can generally tell if its starts to ice up. In which case just adjust the riding. Otherwise I wouldn't rely solely on a Thermo.

I tried to do the same using a similar Ebay unit, but at that price it was cheap Chinese crap and fell apart after 2 rides. In the end I used a better quality IP54 splash proof unit from Lascar:

This only needs two wires for power and fits nicely in the head light adjustment hole.
