hollisatp Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 I have checked out all the post on this topic but have not been able to find some info on a digital unit.. I want to instal a digital probe in the exit line from the head. I have seen some units on the web but not the one I want. They all have a small flat screen with a long thin wire for the thermometer itself. But the probe is too long , about 4 inches... Anyone know of other digital units??

jbooker82 Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 I havent ever seen a digital one used on a atv. It would be harder to read when your hauling. Analog gauges you just glance down and see where the arrow is. You dont have to concentrate to try to read the accual lcd screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just curious what you might pay for a trick temp meter that mounted to the bars, that you could read at a glance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BansheeDan Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 Just curious what you might pay for a trick temp meter that mounted to the bars, that you could read at a glance? youre looking for a trail tech vapor computer.......it has tach,speedo,and temp sensor that goes in the coolant line they mount to the bars and have shift lights and backlighting there like 119.00 from RMATV only draw back is you need a small battery for the shift lights and back lighting to work to full potential....

jbooker82 Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 Just curious what you might pay for a trick temp meter that mounted to the bars, that you could read at a glance? $29.99 Just take the mounting ring that it comes with and straighten it out. Cut the corners out and sandwitch inbetween the upper and lower handle bar mounts. It even has a light that comes on when the headlights are turned on. http://www.iequus.com/product_info.php?pro...gory_id=100_105 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animalman294 Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 For the $29.99 what does it come with? Does it come with the water line tee................? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbooker82 Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 No just the gauge. I made my own T out of a brass t fitting, and a couple of pieces of pipe. josh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animalman294 Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 Where did you get it, and does it come with a sending unit or is the temp probe part of the guage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbooker82 Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 It comes with the capaliary tube and the sending probe on the end. You just have to make the part that it threads in to. 1 Brass T, 2 Threaded pieces of pipe, and then you nedd a really shot piece of threaded pipe, the ones that are about an inch long and all theads, Then you need a Inside threaded piece. That way you can thread the adaptor that the gauge comes with to the short stubby pice of pipe. You can just screw the temp sending unit directly in to the T because it would block the flow. You use the short all threaded pice to move the temp sender up a little so it isnt blocking the flow. josh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gotta get something brighter for halsey! Bright lights are nice. I havent had any problems with my RS stator. Exectrax make a 250 watt one too. I dont have any experiance with those though.

Animalman294 Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 Thanks booker, that sounds like it will work for me, but where did you get it............? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbooker82 Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 You should be able to get them at pretty much any hardware store. I would recomend buying your gauge first. Then go the the hardware store and see what you need. Mock it up so that way you dont buy a bunch of stuff that you dont need. Aslo make sure you dont go to big or you wont be able to get the radiator hoses to slip over the stubs of pipe. I think they uses brass fittings for pluming in gas lines. Propane, Natural Gas.
