Front brake reservoir mounted air temp gauge 11 Months, 1 Week ago

Looking for a Front brake reservoir mounted air temperature gauge. Very cool, white face, neat gagdet. Searching around for one, but no luck yet. Met a guy who I bought a bike rack from who had one on his bike. He said it came with the bike and didn't know where it was purchased from.

Does anyone have any ideas where I can find one? I have searched the internet with no luck. Thanks in advance for any help.

Never seen one of them. I run a HD liquid filled, for vibration purposes, on a handle bar mount I got from Dennis Kirk and it tells me just how hot it is here in the Heart Of Texas. The same guage is available from Dennis Kirk also. Good luck.

You guys have gotten me closer. They are expensive(as expected). The one a saw also acted as the reservoir cover and blended in quite well. This forum is great and I am glad to be a part of it. rox

Barons makes a reservoir cover that you can mount their tach on. Possibly could be used for a thermometer too with a little modification. https://www.denniskirk.com/baron-custom-accessories/master-cylinder-mounts-for-sub-sonic-tach.p1903248.prd/1903248.sku

I think the Kewl Metal Reservoir Temp Cap is what you're looking for.

I want the chrome reservoir that it's mounted to and the chrome clutch perch too. Those I can't find anywhere at a decent price (aka used).
