Title: Clocks?
Post by: MrFryMoto on August 08, 2008, 12:00:43 PM
Never realized how handy having a clock on the bike was...

anybody have a good solution for the older gauged bikes?
(besides strapping a wristwatch).

digital would be good:  easy to read = less time with eyes off road.

Buy a Paso, they came with a clock on the dash!

There are tons of options:

Rizoma - not digital though. 
FYI: Some digital screens turn all black in the heat.

I have the one inch thermometer from German MotoDetail. They make clocks too. It comes with Velcro pads also.

Not sure what you're looking for, I bought a 99 cent peel and stick for the dash of my old FJ40 landbruiser from the dollar store, still working several years later.  It may look a little cheap on Desmo though  ;D

I've been very happy with this stick on from Formotion (http://www.formotionproducts.com).

It's small and works perfectly for me. I put it near the bottom center of the gauges.

And yes, +1 "very handy"

Not only does my Paso have a clock - it has a switch to turn off the clock to preserve the battery
during long periods of waiting for Michelin to make another run of 16" tires ;)

My V-rod must have a VCR, 'cause the clock continually flashes 12:00

I like the Formotion solution [moto]

I had one similar to this on my 996. Same brand. Dennis Kirk sells them too. Link below.

I got a clip clock from Aerostich.

I have had it on my bike for over 3 years, it is white faced so it matches the tach and speedo.

Another Formotion clock... Looks like it's meant to be on there.  [thumbsup]
