Digital Clock?

Hero Danny · July 20th, 2014, 05:25 PM

Anybody recommend a certain clock to mount to my ninja 250? I have some velcro strip above my gauge cluster (under my wind shield) where I could put a digital clock (perfect spot in my opinion!)

Was wondering if anybody could recommend a certain one. I really just care about a digital clock, don't really need the fancy extras like temp gauge etc. Although, back lit would be nice.

Digital watch around the top triple clamp FTW!!

If you're comfortable telling time with an analog clock, Formotion makes a nice water resistant one designed for what you want to do.

An a log? How would writing a log help telling with telling time?

Dude, upgrade to a Koso, best clock ever!

Digital is preferred, I can tell analog but if I only have a chance to glance down for a quick second and analog would be hard to read in such a quick moment.

I should have mentioned my price range is like $30, I would possibly go up to 40, but any higher is really pushing it XD

I just wanted some crap battery one that velcro's to the dash, back lit preferred but not necessary.

You should be able to wander down to Wal-Mart or someplace that sells automotive stuff, go to the aisle with the phone holders, air fresheners, and the like, and there is usually a selection of digital clocks that stick on a car's dash or visor.

Something like this, though just set the clock and never bother switching it to the temp screens.

I suggest getting one that has a backlight for use at night too.

If you dont mind cutting into the black plastic around the fairings I suggest:

I built a sealed box for the backside of it and flush mounted it on mine. No pictures yet but heres one of my eBay gear indicator.

I definitely want to see pics of your install please!!!!! Very clean install of your gear indicator!

If you don't mind spending the money, just get a KOSO gauge and get rid of that ugly antic looking gauge entirely. It has a digital clock.

SMman · July 22nd, 2014, 10:15 AM

$2 at the local Great Canadian Dollar Store.

pretty much this, cheapest and best option for what you want

Hero Danny · July 22nd, 2014, 04:30 PM

This is the one I bought, ran me $7 claimed to be backlit, (either I got a defective one or they lied)

It's mounted with velcro, feels kind of unstable, probably will fly off lol. I'll report back when I get a ride in with it.

So far i'm decently happy, but it's honestly too soon too tell.

choneofakind · July 22nd, 2014, 07:41 PM

is it waterproof? I ruined my cheapy $2 velcro unit by leaving it out in the rain one day.

JohnnyBravo · July 22nd, 2014, 09:00 PM

I carry a pocketwatch

Nope, not waterproof. If my bike was ever in the rain, the $7 clock is the last thing I will be worried about!

Hero Danny · July 23rd, 2014, 02:43 PM

Well I rode around with it and it fits really snug and didn't even do any wabling or nothing. I'm really impressed/happy. Pretty good $7 addition to my bike!

ForceofWill · July 23rd, 2014, 02:44 PM

I just bought the same clock @NevadaWolf has, should work good lol.
