Well the sleds all ripped apart and I have been searching the forums and reading about temperature gauges, I see ulmer racing sells one but and not sure where to mount it that would make it easy to see, I have seen others using the Autometer c2 then buying the hose splicer and the mounting cup from other places, but that all adds up. I want something that's reliable and easy to see when riding, I don't like the heat light on the nytro because when I'm ripping through the trails I'm not sure I would notice if it came on and wouldn't want to ruin the engine. What would you guys recommend?

I put on a koso gauge BA024B11. Very small size. Numbers are bright blue. Should be very easy to see in all conditions. Price was only $45. Suprising how big the numbers are for it's size. They also make one that reads in celsius in red.

I used the ulmer one, (daytona I believe) worked great. I put it just in front of the fuel cap. Easy to look down and check temp, back lit so no problems at night. Also shows time of day, which I missed coming from an apex. The unit is totally sealed as well, I never had an issue with mine and would recommend it to anyone. By mounting it were I did, I could remove all the normal pannels and service/inspect the sled, when doing the donuts, which required tank removal I could just pop the pannel off and roll it over the steering gate or unplug it if needed.

Re: temp guage
Ya that is nice, do all the prosport gauges change colour as they get hotter or just the digital series, because I see they have that ring around the number that goes green yellow then red as the temp rises

One other thing is the water gauge sender adapter, I know the size should be 26mm but I have checked a couple places (From Ontario) and the smallest sizes they have had were 28mm I know that's a little big but would that work or would that be a bad idea since it would be tight, I don't know if that would cause the hose to split in the future or not.

What size are the threads for the sensor?

Yes, you can make a 28mm adapter fit. Here's a link to an install I did on my Nytro a few years ago: http://www.ty4stroke.com/viewtopic.php? ... light=temp
I now have transferred the gage over to my Apex.
Here's a pic of it mounted inside the handlebar cover

I ordered a mini temp guage from SLP for under $50 US. Simple, but seems accurate and that's really all I wanted.

I installed a Glowshift digital temp gauge. Bright enough to see easily in the daylight. Two years and no problems. You can also check out the Koso Slim Style Temp Meter: http://www.kosonorthamerica.com/new/sho ... %E2%84%83/
Smaller than the round gauge and easier to mount. Under $50 from eBay. Use the hose T adapter from Ulmer and you are all set to go. I bought one to replace my Glowshift - haven't installed it yet. If you so a search on Koso in the Nytro section there is someone who installed one on his Nytro.

I highly recommend you DO NOT buy glowshift gauges. Yes they look good and "work" but their accuracy is total #*$&@.
Reason being, when I boosted my car this summer I had a glowshift oil pressure gauge available to use, and when I compared it to a calibrated 150$ gauge, it was over 20psi off!
You gauge may be reading the temp, but how accurate is my concern, you may see 205-210F on the gauge, when really the motor is at 230+ big difference IMO. My $0.02

I have my gauge now but haven't gotten around to installing it, can it be installed to an accessory outlet in the fuse panel I dont want to wire it to something like the headlights or something and if a fuse ever blew be with out lights. I have read post of people using the blue white or red white wire.
