Want your no clock problem to be solved?

Mr.E · June 23rd, 2011, 01:36 AM

Hey everyone.
So I cant believe it didn't occur to me to post this sooner. I remember going around the forum and seeing a few posts about disappointed users who wish they had a way to tell time on their bike. Well, if you don't want to buy a cheap watch and are willing to dish out a little cash, you now can.

A vlogger that I watch has recently bought a clock for his bike, and it didnt fit. So he called the company and now the company makes clocks for ninja 250's like ours. Here's a basic video explaining the clock.

Link to original page on YouTube.

Click Here for the page that sells the ninja clocks.

When I get a motorcycle and have some spare cash (because it is about $50) I'll sure be getting myself one of these. Sure, its no cheap 10 dollar watch, but to me it looks cleaner and I'm all about looks.

Just thought I'd share with you guys.

Looks nice but kinda expensive for $54.95 including nite light...

Yasko · June 23rd, 2011, 02:52 AM

Looks good...

Mr.E · June 23rd, 2011, 02:53 AM

Yeah I think so too, to be honest. It'd be one of my last farkles when I get it. The creator of the video I posted does a monthly give away for them though for like a year. That could be worth a good try. lol.

miss_syn · June 23rd, 2011, 06:48 AM

It looks really good and that's an interesting place for it but I wish it could be up with the other clusters.

ninjaprof · June 23rd, 2011, 07:03 AM

Excellent find...thanks ! I have been wanting to get a clock for my bike.

p4174w · June 23rd, 2011, 07:32 AM

Ramekin is one of my favorite vloggers. He actually just joined the forum yesterday...

CC Cowboy · June 23rd, 2011, 08:36 AM

I problem with having a clock on the bike is, when you get home you can't use the excuse, sorry I'm late, I had no idea what time it was?

CThunder-blue · June 23rd, 2011, 10:03 AM

It would be better if it was a digital LED or OLED. The numbers are tiny and the time it takes for you to look down, note where the hands are in relation to the numbers is much longer than you want your eyes off the road.

+1. I dont understand why most bike clocks are analog. I want a large digital led or oled. Brightness and color change options would be great, orange, blue, green or red. add a large on/off switch and it'd be perfect

That's what I'm thinking...I have little interest in knowing the time. A general idea is good enough for me.

Eh...I feel all caged-in just thinking about it.

Nice!!

Jason, I like yours better. I like the fact that yours is digital and much cheaper.

+1 I hate to add negative momentum to new products, especially when they're just getting off the ground or when a company decides to expand on or support new models, but the digital clock would be my route too. Granted the clocks are really nice, but I don't want an analog clock on something thats supposed to be high-tech!! It's like fuel injection in a Harley! Somethin jus aint right!

What is so difficult about making a digital clock for a bike? No one seems to do it. I dont care if it has to be hardwired in, just give me a digital clock before I have to come up with them!

I like this! and its cheaper.

Buffalony · June 27th, 2011, 04:23 PM

Please!!

kamikaze · July 24th, 2011, 03:19 PM

like most of us I've already got a timex wrapped around my handlebars, but I came across this today and thought some people might like it.

tac12345 · July 24th, 2011, 03:33 PM

looking good !

added on my watch list

kaiserz · July 24th, 2011, 05:52 PM

expensive...

gfloyd2002 · July 24th, 2011, 06:10 PM

These are $10 cheaper if you buy directly through their website instead of through ebay. See http://www.clocks4bikes.com/Ninja250R.html. These would cover those unslightly scratches on my stem bolt caused by my keys, too.

ride2rideagain · July 24th, 2011, 09:28 PM

^^^ that's because there is no backlight. If you add the backlight option, it adds the $10 on.

jamesio · July 24th, 2011, 09:33 PM

whoa thats awesome! im thinkin about the black anodized one w/back light

Bosgarage57 · July 25th, 2011, 05:21 AM

I had one of those on my cruiser, really nice for the price. Now I've just got a stick on clock from autozone on my ninja though.

I think its too expensive....my walmart watch strapped on the handlebar has served me well

SSR · July 25th, 2011, 06:05 PM

I like that. Stylish, nice and easy to read. Right now though, tad out of my price range.

Honko · July 25th, 2011, 07:29 PM

I believe iamramekin (I think he's just "ramekin" on this site) is the one that pushed the production of that clock

i agree it's too much

gfloyd2002 · July 27th, 2011, 03:37 PM

But its sooooo pretty.

NinjaGreen · September 22nd, 2011, 11:08 AM

I purchased a clock for my Ninja and I love it. You can find them at www.clocks4bikes.com They have great customer service and its very easy to install. Ride safe.

/merged with existing "clocks4bikes" threads

Lil_Green_Demon · September 23rd, 2011, 12:46 PM

Interested, but I think it'd be cheaper & safer to get a digital clock.

jamesio · September 23rd, 2011, 03:28 PM

they need to make it digital and cheaper

Mr.E · September 23rd, 2011, 05:18 PM

I actually emailed them about the digital a month or two back. I think its a husband and wife company, and assuming I'm right, the wife told me that she told the husband, but he's not listening so far. She said perhaps if more people request it, he will listen. Reason being is he's old school. So feel free to email them about making it digital. (I think it'd be rude to ask for it to be cheaper though, so lets not.) x-)
