Onboard thermometer tips, anyone?

Winter's approaching and around here, that means it might-or might not-be freezing. So I'm thinking of putting a thermometer on my bike, to alert me of freezing conditions. Does anyone have any thoughts on what thermometer to use and how/where to attach it?

I'll start out by suggesting the two-sensor unit at http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/Displayitem.taf?itemnumber=33080. Maybe mount the remote sensor on the crankcase for amusement.

I also could use a clock for the bike, so maybe somebody could suggest a clock/thermometer unit.

Let's hear what y'alls have done.

I saw a bike at one of the rallies this year that had a thermometer mounted on the windshield. The thermometer appeared to be encased in a decal like film and just stuck on the windshield. This is the only one I have seen but it looked like it was a factory made piece not something that was cobbled together.

www.aerostitch.com sells thermometers, compasses and clocks that just clip on the handlebars. They are about as big around as a penny and they're about 10 bucks apiece. Just be sure they'll fit your bar diameter. This place has just about every gizmo you could think of for long bike trips but is slightly Beemer oriented. No biggie tho.

Re: Thermometers and Clocks

This may be a late posting, but the most common product used on bikes are made by FORMOTION. You can check out their products at http://www.formotionproducts.com/ Cycle Gadgets is a good distributor who carries alot of unique bike items like RAM mounts for CB, GPS or Radar Detector accessories http://www.cyclegadgets.com

Personally, I had some problems with their thermometer, two to three weeks after installing mine the gague went south. At 10 degrees, it read 50. It's been awhile since I bought it so I'm sure they improved the quality.. It could have baan a bad batch too.

Let me know what you think of their products.. The bold right to the brake or clutch bolt..
