Telling Time.
« on: June 21, 2012, 03:16:02 PM »
I had a modern JAP bike (Kawasaki W 650) until I bought my Triumph Speed Twin and discovered I much preferred riding the Triumph. But the Kawasaki did have one thing I miss on longer rides. And that was a built in clock.
I have searched the internet and trawled round shops looking for a timepiece which I might fix on my Triumph. But without success.
Does anyone know where I might find something suitable?

Thanks Bomber. A clock for a Rocket 3 is probably about the nearest I will ever get to one. I need something for a humble Triumph 5T.

And Goldie. Thanks for your link. They look like the type of thing I am seeking.

Try these http://www.megaquartz.co.uk/contents/en-uk/d18_http___www.megaquartz.co.uk_contents_en-uk_d18.html

I've got one of those on my Laverda. Go for the stem nut version unless you have a flat piece of handlebar to mount it on. Doesn't seem to be bothered by the vibration, and believe me, there's plenty of it!

Thanks MrB, but a stem nut mounting isn't possible with a Triumph Nacelle. And as for a flat piece of handlebar??????
