Fat Bar CRJ Temperature Gauge
Facts & Features:
Temperature range is from - 50F to 300F.
Reads from the coolant return line as it leaves the engine for the most accurate reading possible.
Display is mounted in an aluminum casing with sealed plexi-glass face for protection against water.
Display can be switched from Fahrenheit to Celsius for foreign customers.
Easy to read at a glance 3/4" tall by 1 1/2" wide display.
Runs on a small watch style battery which can easily be replaced. Battery typically lasts for 1 year.
Comes with everything needed to install. Temperature gauge clamps to handlebars and probe coupling mounts into
your radiators return hose.
Probe coupling has a sensor which
penetrates into the coolant to keep an accurate reading of the engines
coolant temperature as it exits the engine, and fits a standard 3/4" diameter radiator hose. CRJ
ATV / motorcycle engine temperature gauge will fit almost any liquid
cooled atv or motorcycle with standard 7/8" dia handlebars, or
& FAT BARS" 1-1/8".

- Note: We are very fortunate to have 2 temperature gauges on our project Raptor, so we can have an inlet and an outlet temperature reading from our radiator.
- Picture 1 shows where we cut the radiator hose to attach the probe that reads your water temperature.
- After you attach your probe you need to run the wires along your frame to where you mount your read out gauge, picture 2.
- Picture 2 shows where we mounted out gauge. It looks and works great in the PowerMadd Hand Guard.
- Note: There is an on/off switch on the back of the gauge, beside the switch form Fahrenheit to Centigrade.
- Pictures 3 shows the read out in Fahrenheit.
- Picture 4 shows the readout in Centigrade.
My Impressions:
Pros:
Billet aluminum construction.
Can be purchased in 2 sizes to fit standard bars, or fat bars.
Can switch read out between Fahrenheit or Centigrade.
Simple battery operation.
A breeze to install and a must have piece of equipment on any vehicle.
Cons:
None.
Bottom Line:
I have to highly recommend the CRJ temperature Gauge and recommend this for any atv or motorcycle.
It is a breeze to install and works flawlessly. For guys my age you can easily read the gauge, and you can also set it for Fahrenheit or Centigrade to suite your needs.
We mounted ours within easy viewing distance, but away from anything that would hit it on the handle bars. Having this flexibility to install the read out gauge almost anywhere on your atv is excellent.
I will have this gauge on all of my new off road vehicles. I like being able to tell what my engine water temperature is at any given time. We have 2 gauges, so we can monitor the water temperature going into, and also leaving the radiator. What a cool way to be able to monitor how effective our Spal Fan, and Fluidyne Radiator Combo is working.
