P1000 how many of you use a inclinometer?

I think Honda says 36.6 with 400 lbs loaded properly

The engineer in me says that it would be a great idea to have one on my P500. It's in now, but waiting on warm weather to install.

Seems like there's always something to engineer into a simple component.
For pitch axis, it would be nicer to have an inclinometer labeled in 'percent grade' instead of 'degrees'.
I don't know what the convention is for roll axis (side slope). I get a bit cowardly with side slopes, particularly with passengers onboard.

But, in the name of "engineering", I've added illumination since the buggy was last out.



Here's an example without illumination on a mildly-overcast day:

(Not my You-tube account)
This was just outside of the Devil Anse ATV resort at H-M WV, off the resort-access trail. The "official" trails we rode on that trip rarely had a slope with much more than 25% grade, maybe hit 30% in one spot (14 to 17 degrees). We were riding alone, so we stayed on the "easy" and "moderate" trails.

Several apps for your phone too. If you use it for tunes or maps.

Did you know that if you are upside down on level ground they still read 0 degrees.

Yah but, it will tell you when are past 45. A lot of them also let you set an alarm at whatever point you want.

That’s the sound of when to gun it!
