I'm cleaning up the handlebars of my CX650 Custom. I'm getting rid of the "idiot lights" and dont want to get rid of the temp gauge. I figure that would be very "idiot" to not have that gauge.

Does anybody know of a good little aftermarket option?

It has been looked into, but nothing really came up.

I used this.

You have to get an adapter for the temp sensor and I made an aluminum bracket to mount it right next to the key.

What about something like this:

Sure that would work. You might still need an adapter fitting, I used a Sunpro kit from a local auto parts store. It's a little tough finding the real estate on a GL for a gauge that size. What I don't like about the KOSO besides the cost is how difficult it is to read in bright sunlight. Also somewhat distracting watching the numbers change.

On a slightly different note, has anyone tried replacing the guage with a warning lamp? I'm really trying to minimise the 'dashboard'!!
