I don't really know why I need to check the temperature once I'm on the bike, but I do.
My last attempt failed after a year - the small and hard-to-read MotoGadget couldn't take the vibration anymore.
So, I got an oil filled one from Formotion.
We'll see how it performs, but it is much better built - I expect it to last.
It's a 3M sticker type, so I was careful warming up the bracket and adhesive before I put it on.
The mounting bracket is a piece of dremelled and painted metal. I bolted it down with the athmospheric pressure sensor under the dash.
Maybe I should have gotten the black housing, but it's done, so I'll try to like the one I have.
