Air temp gauge inaccuracy
My 07 Ultra's air temperature gauge reads about 10 degrees high. I'm told they're all like that. Such an easy design fix. Why won't HD make the effort?

A good fix would be to replace it with an Oil Temp Gauge .. that's what I did. Who really cares about knowing what temp it is? [:@]

I've seen lotsa posts about these...honestly, aside from very hot days, where it can be way off, I find it works fine for me at lower temps pretty accurately. Guess your results may vary

Who needs a thermometer to tell them if it's hot or cold on a motorcycle anyway????

RE: Air temp gauge inaccuracy
I agree. I judge by how I feel, hot or cold. Don't need a temp guage to tell me that. They're about as accurate as the one's I see on billboards and banks. Always off.

RE: Air temp gauge inaccuracy
My 07 RG guage tends to be about 5 degrees off. I heard it has something to do with the sensor being too close to the front headlight. I believe someone said they repositioned theirs and it was about right on after that.
