Hi Everybody

Ihave a 1981 gw from my dad andI would like to know if anybody knows what the gauge is that is on the dash/windsheild. it houses four of them and I know that one is a clock,one a Amp.gauge,and one is a Altimeter but the last one I have now clue. it is some kind of temp gauge but for what? it goes from -20 to 120 deg F. and when it is hot out here about 90 deg F, it runs about in the 110 range. any help would be great.

Thank you

Sounds like an aftermarket add on. Does it look like this?

Nah, some of the Hondaline fairings had a 4 gauge cluster in them. You see them on ebay from time to time. I just don't see one now. If it's -20 to 120 degree F than it must be air temp. Of course in AZ, it may get pegged out during the Summer!

No, but the digital one looks good it is a analog gauge, It could be a air temp sitting in the morning it reads about 97 deg f, right now I was not sure if it was a Oil, or head temp, or something I should watchout for and not ride if it is to high.

Thank you Fred

Baja,

I have an '82 Interstate with a 4 guage cluster across the fairing. from left to right the instruments are:

Volt Meter
Outside Temp.
Altimeter
clock

You may be missing the outside temp guage. Photo attached. Hope this helps.

Hey Diego, that's a pretty snazzy looking panel! Ever think of swapping the altimeter for an oil pressure gauge?

Thank you Diego

Now I know, I do have that gauge I was not sure what it was reading because it peg alot of the time. :X So that will explains it and that does help I did not what to have a melt down on something. Around here it can get 125+ deg f coming from the pavement. That is why night riding is a plus. I just ride back and forth to work mainly during the week, so riding in that weather in not too bad.:gunhead:and on weekends we head :walker:up north to the mountains where it is about 30+ deg cooler.

Thank you again Diego

exavid,

An Oil Pressure gauge w/b smart, but I hike and climb a fair bit in California, so the Alti adds to the "cool points" about the bike that I really like. Helps a bit too when I'm looking for trailheads.
