Clock / voltage meter / temperature gauge
« on: March 05, 2016, 04:31:36 PM »
Taking a break from the Sunbeam.....

I always like to have a clock on my bikes and the SLR650 being a poverty model came without this luxury. This: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/181812222337?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT seemed to fit the bill and at just over £6 how could I resist?

I made a housing from an old security light control box and it fitted neatly in front of the binnacle.

Time:




Voltage (this will be a bit low as I'm taking it from the ignition switch feed in the headlamp but will be an indication):



Temperature. The device has a remote sensor which I've cable tied tightly under the top frame tube. It will give me an indication of temperature but not of course very precise or accurate.



I'm very pleased with it and obviously this could be used on any model. The display looks a bit blurred but that's my camera skills not the unit itself.

A bargain! Looks like it hails from the same place I got my £2.50 heated grips kit  :)
