Owners of late-model Harleys looking to inject some tech into their bikes need look no further than the GaugeFace iPhone dock. The GaugeFace iPhone dock mounts onto your Harley and uses the accompanying GaugeFace app to digitally display stats such as engine temperature, current gear and speed.
Keeping safety in mind, the GaugeFace iPhone dock disables the other features and functions of your iPhone while in use. A biker flying down the highway at 100mph playing Angry Birds would be a modern-day nightmare. Peep the video here to see both the app and dock in action.
