I will be using a mates GPS tomorrow to check that my speedo is calibrated properly. The pic is very fuzzy sorry, but if you look closely up in the top right hand corner you cant just make out the 132 temp.
After going on a long ride today, I must give a more accurate measure of temp. The air temp today was 26C-78.8F and at a around town speed of 50KM-31MPH the head temp sat on 73C-163.4F.
And at open road speed of 100KM-62MPH the head temp dropped and sat on 51C-123F.
The temp that I provided yesterday was a reading from the max screen. eg. Highest speed, highest temp, etc.
I did have it sitting in idle for ages which might account for the high temp.
Some more useless info for those of you interested.
I am happy with the purchase and find it interesting while riding to have this information at my fingertips. It too will help me be more vigilant about my head temp.
I'd expect it to be warmer too.
How you got that thing installed? The other end has to be away from the heat or you'll just get a temperature differential.
I had one of these on the #3 head of a Vdub van, worked pretty good.
