$15 clock/compass/thermometer

subiegy2010 · July 16th, 2010, 06:53 PM

Picked this up at advanced auto parts today, thought I would share.

If it was black instead of silver it would be perfect, but I think it looks fine the way it is. I mainly bought it for the compass but the clock and thermometer are nice too.

bob706 · July 16th, 2010, 07:46 PM

Looks good! If I didn't keep stuff in that area I'd get one.

mikecronis · July 17th, 2010, 06:26 AM

Stuff in that area?! Like what? Lasers?

hubcapbandit · July 17th, 2010, 07:08 AM

lol lasers.

I wonder how that would look on a pre gen? eh who cares, I'm getting it. Nice find!

adri99an · July 17th, 2010, 07:56 AM

I have a bazooka in that area but I never really use it....I like that set up and think I'm getting one too

kashun84 · July 17th, 2010, 07:56 AM

Is it double side tape?

subiegy2010 · July 17th, 2010, 03:30 PM

It actually comes with a velcro thing so you can take it off to change the battery if needed. The velcro is stuck on with double sided tape though.

Snake · July 17th, 2010, 04:32 PM

Very cool. Makes it look like the cockpit of an aircraft.

No not lasers but my flux capacitor. And sometimes mail or newspaper.

subiegy2010 · July 17th, 2010, 05:55 PM

I might paint it green eventually:

bob706 · July 17th, 2010, 06:29 PM

now that looks great

Arkmojo · July 17th, 2010, 08:12 PM

I need one!

Green looks great. But I use that area as my glove box. Thanks for sharing though.

CZroe · July 25th, 2010, 11:40 AM

I always tuck my ballcap down there.

illrational · July 25th, 2010, 02:11 PM

that touch of green made all teh difference i keep my epass down there and ne thing else ....but not that the bazooka idea came up im looking into getting one that ill definitely anodize green

Mr. GRIMM anyone???

DBentley415 · July 29th, 2010, 07:48 AM

Very Nice! I really wish the ninja 250s came with a clock i'm very tempted to invest in one of these as well.....The green would look perfect

but where would u get paint that matched the bike so well?

camaroz1985 · July 29th, 2010, 08:01 AM

Color Rite

subiegy2010 · July 29th, 2010, 11:47 AM

Color Rite would be best but too expensive. I'd just buy whatever lime green spray paint and clear coat they have at the auto parts store and hope for the best.

Off topic but, where in WI are you Kayla? My friends and I are always looking for more people to cruise with and you're more than welcome to join us if you're in the area!

xtrapsi · July 29th, 2010, 01:58 PM

Is it waterproof?

I had a clock from a parts store and the first time it rained....time to buy another!

subiegy2010 · July 29th, 2010, 02:50 PM

I doubt it but it's covered by the windshield so I don't think it would be a problem. And I try not to ride in the rain.

CZroe · July 29th, 2010, 02:57 PM

Really only needs to be water-resistant for even direct rain.

slolane · July 30th, 2010, 08:16 PM

Nice mod, gott do this one. Thanks!!

I'm from Chilton....about 1.5/2 hours north of Milwaukee.

subiegy2010 · August 1st, 2010, 11:15 PM

Gotcha, we usually go north towards you on our rides. You should join us sometime!

Definitely

....I go to school at UW-Madison so I'm moving back on August 23rd, but if you venture up here anytime before that lemme know.....plus I'll have my bike in Madison so if you ever get over that way we could ride together too.

Goosey · August 3rd, 2010, 08:58 AM

Really cool, especially if you paint it. I absolutely must pick this up. $15 is nothing if it stops me from having to always pull over just to see what time it is on long joy rides.

ricochet08 · August 3rd, 2010, 02:36 PM

I was looking at those the other day when I dumped my oil. Decided to leave em though.
Now that I see how they look, I might just head back up there

Mac · August 13th, 2010, 10:42 PM

Looks good man. Ups to a fellow subie owner too!

Cuongism · August 14th, 2010, 06:32 AM

Just as an FYI, walmart and amazon also carry this item. There's no advance auto parts near me so I had to order off of walmart. They carry it in some stores but just not near me. I did site to store so it's free shipping to the walmart near me.

subiegy2010 · August 14th, 2010, 06:55 PM

Good find! Here's the link for walmart:
