I've got an older handlebar thermometer on mine, forget the brand (logo looks like a cursive outline of a motorcycle, if that helps) and it's very unreliable. Usually reads 10-20 degrees high. I could see direct sun affecting this, but this is even if the bike is parked in my garage.
Is this a common issue with these, or are these ones you're all recommending pretty accurate? Jeff Edit: I went back and looked at my thermometer and it's actually a Clocks 4 Bikes thermometer. Looks great, just reads too high.

Here's mine. It's a cheap 12V backlit thermometer with a remote probe, that I found on AliExpress It's not waterproof (except for where I've siliconed up around the back of it), but it's holding up OK so far.
That temperature makes me long for summer.
