Default Faired to naked > Standard clocks

Hi all,

Havent been on for a long while.

Ive decided to streetfighter the bike. mainly because the paintwork was looking shabby and the bike needed a complete overhall.

Ive already painted her satin black and now im ready to work on the front end.

Basically id like to use the original clocks with some dominators and a fly screen.

Thing is i dont want to change the top yoke because i like the clip ons.

Has anyone done this before and could advise me on how to relocate my clocks and how to fix them to the bike.

Thanks in advance

Moo

I made a bracket that bolts to the ignition barrel bolts. You'll have to buy the back plastics for the speedo. Have you got standard forks?

I'll have some dominators for sale soon if you're interested

Thanks for the reply.

Do you have photos of your bracket annd where its bolted?

What colour are the dominators? how much are you looking for them? brackets and bolts included?

I'll get a photo of mine in the next few days.

I grinded the centre of the speedo mount out of the old hideous headlight frame, then re-welded it to a shaped bit of steel sheet, bent to the right angle. I needed to strengthen it with gussets cos it was wobbly at speed though. I then bolted it to the yokes using the bolts that tighten the top yokes to the fork. Haven't bought anything else, just modified what I had.

I'll see if I can get a pic up soon.

The dominator brackets won't be any use to you. They are for 54mm forks. About £30 for the lights posted. Have you got heated grips? I've got another clock bracket the same as this one that I made with an extra bit under the clocks to mount the heated grips controller, but I took it and the heated grips off today.

Awesome.

do you have a photograph of the other bracket you have?
Im sure i could still use it without heated grips?

Would you be willing to sell the lights and the spare bracket together?

also what connector do the dominators have, will i have to cut into the loom?

I'm a bit busy just now. I'll try get a pic tomorrow of the other bracket. How soon do you need the lights? I'm can't sell them straight away because I still need them until I get my new lights sorted. I think I've still got the original dominator wiring that just plugs on to the 3 pin headlight connector

Got photos earlier than thought. As stated, its 2mm steel sheet, with grinded and filed centre section of current headlight frame. I used this as it retained the existing rubbers to mount the clocks to. Its got a slight bend in it for the angle, and two gussets in line with the speedo to stop it flapping about.
