08 EGC AAT
ok some one on forum said HD moved the temp sensor for the
Ambient Air Temperature Gauge to the frame for the 08 models.
One where exactly did they move it too (picture would be nice)
And is it now accurate? If not how far off would you say it is?

RE: 08 EGC AAT
It's up high on the left side of the steering neck. Sorry don't have a pick right now.
And no it still isn't overly accurate. But that's not really an issue.It simply shouldn't be there, accurate or not. I can decide for my self if I need a jacket or not, I don't need any help from HD on that one. It should have been anOIL TEMPERATURE gauge.

Yeah, but if HD can't produce and install an ACCURATE simple outdoor thermometer,
Then you need to ask yourself, how accurate is their OIL TEMP gauge.
I wouldn't buy it from HD!
I would go aftermarket!!

RE: 08 EGC AAT
What is reasonably accurate?
2 degrees off, 5, 15 ???
I agree it is basically useless.
Except for those of us that ride in cold weather. It could help determine if air temp is actually
cold enough for moisture to freeze on road surface.
well, it could it if the damn thing was accurate!

I have an 08 UC, air temp guage seems reasonably accurate.....rather useless, but reasonably accurate.

RE: 08 EGC AAT
