I put a Quadovator on my 700 it works good, fogs up and paint seems to peal a bit around the gauge on the outside (my atv never sits outside). Not sure on the quality there. And yes they should have a digital one in the cluster, like on skid loaders you can scroll through digital oil pressure, oil temp, hydraulic temp, engine temp and many others.. Just a thought.
why doesn't the factory include this on the digital display?
Because the thermal switch turns the fan on and off automatically,kind of useless like putting a tachometer on a automatic tranny machine. OH wait the do do that. LOL

It would have been nice when my fan stopped working (wire harness grounded out in pod) I might have noticed the bike was getting hot before the idiot light. I ended up hot wiring the fan on to get back to camp. I'm getting the gauge, plus putting in my own switch to run the fan if I feel I want to, or I have another failure of the wiring or sending unit.

I find the temp gauges handy as like the other day I go through some deep water and once out my speedo is saying hot with the check engine sign on . Now since I have a gauge I look and its reading around 170 degrees so I know I'm not overheating . I shut off the machine restart and all is fine ( hot now not on ) so having that gauge told me I was not overheating even tho the bike speedo said I was . If you check my gallery theres a picture of my digital gauge there way more accurate than the other one .

where?
Page 3 , you can even set it to flash you a warning when its starting to get hot giving you time to pull over and shut down . At least with this gauge it gives you the exact temperature your bike is at no guessing and looks great with the digital speedo . Very easy install at least on my 500 no fogging works great don't look cheep.
Go to gauges Led-Bars and under that click on ATV I think its page 8 . It will show you all there gauges including the one I installed .Then your need to search the site to find a dealer in your area to get a price . I'm in Canada thus I paid 3 times what you will assuming your in the US .
coolant temp gauge?
