RE: Ambient Temp gauges
As it stands now the AAT has always been off that much.
NO the dealer and HD will not fix it.
They will work on it, but not fix it.
Reason is, the people here and elsewhere that have the problem won't band together
and force the issue to get it fixed.
AND like the IDS they will go buy an oil temp gauge (most likely from HD) to replace it.
so HD has no incentive to fix the thing right.

RE: Ambient Temp gauges
As far as I can tell mine works correctly but the gauge marks are so close together you can not read a precise temperature, it is just a general 5 degree window. Ate to say it they need to take a lesson from another manufacture on how to display this information.
I would love to see some detail on the Oil temperature gauge.

RE: Ambient Temp gauges
I have also purchased the oil temp gauge to replace the ambiabt temp gauge. Like someone else said.....the oil temp is way more critical than the outside tempture. The biggest reason the MOCO put a ambiant temp gauge on the bikes is so if the temp is close to the freezing point, then you will know to be on the look out for black ice or whatever. Onlt thing is.....my 08' SG also came with a radio....and on that radio there is a WX band that tunes to the NOAA station where I can get up to the min reports on all sorts of weather. Plus I have one of those small thermometer zipper pulls hanging from my bars so I always know the temp.....on top of that....once the temps go below 40*F I park the bike.
