Compass, who needs it.. If it is dark I am going to work, if it is light I am going home.. When I am traveling the girlfriend is riding and she always is telling me where to go and where to get off.....
So who needs it.. I get there...

Since you asked, IM humble O with a finite amount of space you would want the most bang for your buck. A dependable oil guage would be my pick. A compass...? Do you have one in your cager?

I have the HD compass. It is not smooth. It jerks when it moves and hangs up on a direction. I now have a Garmin nuvi 350 gps. Wish I had bought the oil temp guage. I paid $159 for the compass. HD has them on clearance for $75. No one wants them anymore.

Get yourself a USMC lensatic compass and keep in the bottom of a bag. You can take it out when you sell your scoot.

RE: Compass
Don't waste the time or money on the compass. I just did. There are 16 zones within the continental US and you have to recalibate the compass when you enter each zone. I thought that was crazy and called HD techs about this. Theyconfirmed the recalibration for each zone. The compass was hard enough to istall so I will just leave it. The sending units mounts to the rear left bag support so you have to thread the wiring from behind the fairing to there. Involves lifting up the gas tank.
