Any tips for adding a time clock on curvy sv650?
 
Anyone fitted a clock to their bike? Just looking for the best way to tidily do this. I see that Halfords do a digital one with a backlight for night use that just sticks in place. May go this route if it seems a sensible size. Thanks for any advice.

Motrax used to do a good glow in the dark one. I stuck mine on with double sided sticky tape.

Used the Oxford one on my CBF, was ****, used the Halfords one, much better, it's been okay in the wet (so you can use riding it the rain as long as you don't soak it), but I don't think it is waterproof so mine was velcroed on (superglued the velcro to the bike and clock), it's REALLY easy to use and read and you can use the backlight with numb hands in the thickest winter gloves you can find. It's still going strong five months on. (This is the one you're looking at right? http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/s...egoryId_165574)

Thanks for all the replies. I have gone with the halfords solution. Initial impressions are good. Clear and easy to read and large button for the backlight. Mounted it to the top yoke using Velcro so I can always take it with me if leaving the bike for a while.
