Default 2012 Limited question
I bought my 2012 Ultra Limited & love it.My bike has an oil temp gauge
which is great.My buddy bought one & his has an air temp gauge.Now
it's got my curiosity up as to which gauge did the bikes come with? I
thought the bike came standard with the oil temp gauge.He says no.
Anyone got the answer?

The only thing the oil temp gauge will do is make you worry about nothing.

Thanks I thought the oil temp was standard.It's
still more useful than the air temp.

Not true. I find comfort knowing my oil temp and pressure.

I also like knowing my oil temp.I
can tell when the air is hot without
a gauge.

It's none of by business what gauges you run on your bike,but tell me how you feel comfort in what the oil temp is.
