I would go with the new MoCo Day/Night Sundial gauge. It's a great gauge that lets you know what time it is during the day and if you can't see it then you know it's night. My second choice would be the oil viscosity gauge.It lets you know when your oil viscosity breaks down to the point that it needs to be changed out. Here we go and winter hasn't even started yet.

I agree totally...What about the air temp gauge that Harley puts on (It tells me when to put air in the rear tire ) or the Compass (It tells me when and of course where to add fuel to my gas tank ) My first choices would be Oil pressure and voltmeter and I will have to guess on the other two.

They need to develop a gauge that determines the interest of the soccer mom parked next to you at the stoplight!

On my "Ultra" Road King, and yes its a Road King with a fairing.

I've got 3 gauges. Oil PSI, Oil Temp, and Volts.

Don't need a Tach, factory didn't see fit to put one on Road Kings so its obviously not necessary. LOL )

How about a couple little mirrors so you can see how cool you look with the wind in your hair.
