My discs rattled, but I had the spring clips on the bobbins replaced for about £50 now they're fine

They don't come apart easily......ask me how I know Laughing

If you can't get the scribble off the face, I might be able to help you out Wink

I live in Coalville Leicestershire...so about 2 mins from north Leicester m/c's.
Get on well with Olly and Alex there and they know there stuff..sales side is a diff story but that's for another time.

The guy has fucked the clocks..the rev counter is sitting at 12k when off and don't move.
What's the other clock alternatives? Did I hear Koso mentioned?

oily · Joined: 05 Apr 2008 Posts: 4788 Location: worcestershire

...Koso is the preferred as Bimota fitted them on the later Bimcati's.
I fitted an acewell on my 6R fighter and I'm about to fit spa gauges to the latest 6 project.
It's whatever takes your fancy really as all the modern digital clocks are a doodle to fit Wink

Just had a look at those koso clocks..and I ain't keen, and the ace well is more supermoto/street fighter.

What other things have been used that are pretty common to get hold of? I spotted a gar clock which looked small under the big fairing...is there something that fills the space well?

Stuart at North Leics M/C's had some mph clocks like those, I bought them off him but they didn't work and he was going to send them to the fella he knows to have them fixed again. Might be worth asking if you want proper clocks.

How much did he want for them?

Don't get on too well with Stuart to be fair...haven't ever had words or owt like that..but he just ain't my sort of guy..if ya catch me drift.

...With this type of standard clocks, there are two types.....

The first type are the ones that are fooked...
The second type are the ones that will soon be fooked Wink

Whilst your messing about in the area of the clocks, my advice is to "upgrade" the original clocks to a reliable set of after market instruments Wink

I'm sure I paid about £185 for them but returned them in person as they didn't work correctly. Stuart seemed a nice guy, we only chatted for a few minutes tho as it was one evening at his house. As Oily states they're not the most reliable of things, then again mine have done 4k miles and work ok, other than the usual thing with them that you pull the front brake on and the clocks (both) die for a second and then continue to work. Bit of an issue approaching a camera, you dab the brake and look down and can't see how quick you're going! Personally I like the std clocks, but have no doubt the later aftermarket replacements are more reliable, more accurate with more features
