I guess KOSO is alternative that does same thing as OEM item so curious about this one as otherwise I will use what I got. Shame HD can't design something that works properly as idea and functionality is great (when it works) 😄
I had KOSO, lasted about 6 months, rode in a rainstorm, kaput.

The only one I have used that worked was the analog gauge, and I only got that one because my dipstick had been leaking for the 3rd time on that bike and the plain cheap one was out of stock. I have never seen the electronic one last. A few guys I ride with have had them and they have all failed.

what makes me leery is the review on them I read a long time ago

"They work great, until they don't"

I've got the KOSO brand. I've had it a couple years and it's still working fine. I've ridden in rain and washed the bike numerous time (yes, I use a water hose) and have not had any problems with it.

I normally don't, do get caught once in a while. I use a pressure washer to clean, never worried about it.
