Clocks and Styling

So one thing I miss about my old Aprilia is the ability to see the time whilst on the bike. You could go all out and replace the whole clock with one of those after market ones but I quite like the blue LED's in my original clocks and don't fancy changes those just yet.

 

I was wondering has anyone on here put a custom clock on their bike? Or would this be a good idea?

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/OXFORD-MOTORCYCLE-DIGITAL-MICRO-WATERPROOF-MINI-CLOCK-/230673151330?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts&hash=item35b530f562

 

You could mount it near the clock somewhere. This one also includes exterior temperature which could come in hand!

 

Has anyone found this sort of thing with its own bracket?

Yeah seems a bit steep and I'm glad you said it!

However it's not just a time keeper is it? Also tells you it's proximity temperature and ice alert! Which would be nice for me cause I'm appauling rider when it comes to the snow and Ice. However I think that maybe in the future I'll invest in the vapour stealth clocks where these are built in feauters!

How was the installation?

Easy?

What about wiring the speedo meter? Did you need to make a new bracket? I Take it you can't just use the original cable. Pictures?

Sure, but tbh the vapur is the best on the market for the money, the lighting and overal visability in bright sunlight is perfect, even at night the bright screen light shows up like a dream and you have rev lights that flash for when to switch gear that you cabn set to 2 rpm levels, one for entering band one for max rpm like i have one for 7k and one for 11k well nice :) good clear design and layout, easy to install the instructions are brilliant.

Aww that sounds wicked mate.

 

Might have to take a look at that. Would it be possible to show me your set up?

Photos wise.

Lol. Yeah I've seen the rev counter. However that would mean installing the tacometer on my bike. I'm currently doing a kickstart conversion at the mo. Can't see myself doing all this again for a tacometer.

You don't need to take the engine apart for the rev counter mate, sounds silly but you just wrap a wire around the ht lead-cable, 5 times and it's sorted, no greasy work to install the vapour mate. Easy as pie.

I could imagine it would be fairly accurate mate. The current supplied to the HT lead would be AC? Therefore it induce a magnetic field. One spark per rotation? Therefore it would detect the magnetic field strength and decither the rpm from that.

 

That's how I would imagine it would work. Provided it's on a AC current. I don't know for sure so would be interesting if someone knew?
