£140 plus VAT's not a lot for a full set of instruments. Pretty sure the Suzuki ones would be more expensive, Veypors definately are.

To build up a set of naked clocks from the parts list costs an unbelieveable amount.

Suzuki know when they have you bent over the table ready for a sh*fting!


Plastic front £95.
Plastic backs at £45 and £15.
Speedo clock, £145.
Tacho clock, £175.
Front loom £92.
Plus, chrome domes, brackets, change of yoke to suit etc.




Eek, I think i'll stick to aftermarket. The Sigma cycle speedo i got was crap at anything over 40mph.

The chrome (plastic) dome for the rev counter cost me £38 alone!

If you add up all the money/pounds/euros for all the parts needed to make an SV you could buy 2 or 3 and still save more this way in the end.

Yeah size matters to me as well, I like mine big and round.

Not an MoT requirement. Strange and rather unbelievable I know but true. Rev counter not really an issue. The singing engine tells me when to change not the needle.

I had the Sigma speedo on my bike for several months and found that is was accurate up to approx 80mph. Which of course was just perfect, as speeds above that didn't matter, illlegal is illegal and all that. Are you sure you had a set correctly or that the magnet and sensor were meeting correctly?

Now have a K3 naked clock fitted. Total cost was around the £50 mark.
