Hello, One thing I've been really missing on my 2000 Venture is a way to tell time and the outside temperature. I've found on line a number of attractive, affordable aftermarket handlebar and windshield mountable clocks and thermometers, but I can't tell how they would fit. Does anyone have a style or brand that they've used?

I've found discussions here about WHAT thermometer to buy. This is different: I'd like to know WHERE to mount it. The what can follow then. My question stems from my buddy and his farkled BMW. It has a pitot tube that samples air as the bike moves. The thermometer is untrustworthy until the bike is moving. The reason being, says he, that an exposed thermometer is influenced by sunlight warming and engine temperature warming. So, where should I put a thermometer? I have an RSTD, and thus I don't have a fairing to hide it in. On the other hand, that gives me a nice, quasi-hidden spot atop the forks but below the speed-o. It is shaded there, sometimes. So, two questions, really. Maybe three... A) Where is the ideal place to sample air from? B) Where is the best, reasonable place for a thermometer on an RSTD? 3) Where is the best, reasonable place for a thermometer on an RSV? I guess the final question should be answered first: does it really matter? Dave
