Clock for the Zero
« on: June 28, 2012, 10:30:08 AM »

I ordered a clock for my ZF9. Check it out.

Here is the website where I got it:

Nice placement ; )

Do you have a model number for the clock? I get 825 results when I search their catalog for clock.. none in the first page that seem relevant.

Here is my solution to installing a clock on a Zero, or most any other motorcycle for that matter.  This is the cheap "Home" version of the pricy Formotion  brand clock. These clocks are weatherproof, easily readable, very accurate, and nice looking. They stick on using double-stick tape and I have never had one fall off of a mirror.  The battery will last a couple of years and can be easily replaced by removing the back of the clock to replace the small button battery.  Formotion clocks made for "automotive" use sell for around $50 at motorcycle and auto accessory shops, but I bought my "for home use only" version for $12 from a novelty catalog.   ;)

I contacted the company and sent them pictures of the size of the stem bolt/nut. The model they sent me was:

D/DS243524   !HWY PEG MONT 91-11 DYNA

(yes, that's an exclamation point ;-)

The salesperson that helped me was named Phil.

It was a bit pricey (35 British Pounds - about $55). The $12 mirror clock would get the job done for less, but I like how it looks placed over the stem bolt.

By the way, the American company (Clocks4Bikes) that made the clock I got for my gas hog (Honda Shadow 750 - 50 MPG) declined to sell me a clock for the Zero - over concerns about the new motorcycle company and the size/fit of the stem bolt.

That certainly is a classy looking clock, oobflyer.  As motorcycle accessory clocks go, that is not too bad a price for what you get.
