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? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Digital-LC...item415f7af34b |

Re: Digital thermometer
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! Last edited by saucysaunders; 27-11-12 at 05:44 PM. |

Re: Digital thermometer
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.

Re: Thermometer on SV?
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:
