I was looking at the temp gauges on TQS and was wondering which of the 2 models they have was the best

They have an ESR model, http://tqsatv.com/proddetail.php?prod=universal-esr-temp-gauge
I don't know the name of the other one, but it has an in-line cooler as well http://tqsatv.com/proddetail.php?prod=MODQUAD-COOLER-TEMP-GAUGE

Tell me what you think about both, and I would also need to know where I place them. In the return hose after the cylinder?

Its a coin toss between the 2 IMO. As far as placement I would say on the hose coming from the block returning to the radiator since that's where most of your heat is going to be rather than the inlet hose.

I could be wrong but you could get a plain cooler (no temp gauge) and install it on the inlet for extra cooling.

Along with the addition of Engine Ice you'll be good to go.

I have the ESR and am very happy with it...you want to place it in the return line under the tank, you want to know what the motor temp is not the temp of the water in the radiator.

i have the esr. works great. no complaints.

This is where I mounted mines. I think I would rather know the temp coming out of the head than the temp after it has been cooled by the radiator. I also have a inline cooler on my inlet hose, so my temps are great. Next i'm gonna be installing some engine ice.

Get the digital temperature sensor, a trail tech computer. It is very helpful for trail ridding, or any ridding for that matter.

Ok thanks a lot guys,

09RappySe, is it the same line where Rap 660 installed it?

Thanks Rap660 for the picture.

Yep.

ESR is much easier to read from sitting on the bike with the 45 angle it puts on the gauge. The other brand is modquad.
