I am going on a trip on the middle of july, I made the same trip last year and found that the old bike got a little on the warm side (hot day and traffic at the end of 180 mile trip). The coolant system has 2 temp sensor by the wax based thermostat which I housed in aluminium casing, and you can see where this is going. I am thinking a thermistor of some description would fit the bill, it would be nice to be able to read negative temps for cold morning starting but not crucial, it will how ever have to read well above 100 degrees C as the fan should cut in at 110*C.
the idea is to push the thermistor (or other sensor) against the aluminium body, it wont give a fast response to temp but should give an approximate idea of what is going on.
so what sort of sensor would be best? Degree level should be fine but 1 decimal resolution would be nice.
