Clocks, why is it so hard damn damn damn

Looking for a chrome speedo and matching rev counter. I definitely want an odometer on the speedo and basic warning lights, beam, winkers etc if possible but not crucial. Someone pick some for me I'm like a tart in a wallpaper shop. No offence to our lady members 8-[

Something like this,

With a matching rev counter.

Took 3 days of perusing before I went back to the first one I fancied and thought, oh fukkit.

If it comes quick I might actually drag the bugger out the lab for a test ride this weekend :shock:

Ended up getting a Koso http://www.digital-speedos.co.uk/dl-03sr-563-p.asp

I like the look and the functions, its pretty easy to wire up,,,but I'm an electrician. What I was pissed off with though is how short the loom is,

I've got it mounted in front of the yoke now next to the ignition and the loom wouldn't even reach the tank :shock:

That's just pathetic, and it took me 3 times as long as it should have because I had to solder extra length in to most of the wires. You won't need some of them. I got the winkers, full beam/flash and neutral light and rev counter going. I'll get the oil light sorted when I get a switch to suit me gizmo I got off DixonJ.
Next pisser was the fact that its impossible to get the speed sensor mounted properly on me Yzf forks and its not close enough to the magnets, so no worky. I'll need a cable drive adapter.
I'm complaining about the length of the loom and the sensor situation. So hopefully I'll get a cable drive thrown in. If you spend £150 on something it should be perfect.
But, it looks cool on the bike, very minimalistic and does everything you need. Trip meters, you can set a warning flash at a given mileage to warn of low fuel. Does all sorts really, most of it you don't need. I just like the look of it.

I like the look of what you've done,the clock looks good nice and simple.Im thinking of mounting a clock on the headlamp,which I've already done for now with the standard set,so I'll have the same problem as you with the short harness,bit I'll get around it.I also like the look of the bars you've used,I'm want to keep the standard clip ons,but I'm not too sure about the riding position,I'm used to a more upright position on my previous bikes.If you don't mind could you send me another pic of your bike so I can get an Idea of how another set would look.
