After changing to factory clip ons, I missed my clock. clocks4bikes helped out. I sent them top plates and stem bolts so they could take dimensions. They now have a clock that goes right on the stem bolt for a GS500 and probably lots of other bikes. These guys go the extra mile to make sure things fit.

Here's the first one made they sent me to check out. Now it is in their product line.

It looks great! I definitely like the idea of knowing what time it is haha, but now my GPS tells me

I like that!  Clean and simple!  It would be neat if they had an all-in-one that told time as well as temperature.  I noticed that most of the gallery pictures were cruisers.  I bet if they offered anodized finishes in lots of colors they could pull in more sport bike riders.

I love mine.
Its so easy to loose hours on the bike. Specially when you take the long way everywhere....

It's too late for me to wanna go take a picture, but I just took a cheap wrist watch, pulled off the wrist bands, used some double sided tape and mounted it on the lower part of the tachometer. They also sell little clocks the same size as yours at Micheals, since a lot of people like to make their own clocks out of wood, and they sell the little part that presses in.

I have what Clancy has plus thermometer but when I switched to the clip-ons, there was no place for them (except my parts shelf). It was nice of clocks4bikes to make one that fits on the stem bolt. I really missed my clock. Never realized how important it was until it wasn't there anymore. I did the wrist watch thing for a while, but looked a little tacky (though it was an adidas watch  )

I put mine on the lower part of the tach with adhesive. I use Perfect Glue from Liquid Nails. On my last bike, when I got a flat front tire on the freeway, the front of the watch, along with the works, came off on impact. The back of the watch was still in place.

I really don't want to know what time it is. I just want to go ride. I'll get there when I get there.

50 clicks on the trip meter but zero on the Odo?

I did the old, magnet stuck to back of watch and put on tank trick. Would put watch on side of tank at work to stop sun beating down on LCD. Forgot. Took off. No more watch.

Next, velcro strap watch around front brake reservoir. Get to work, take off bike.

Clocks for Bikes also has an ebay store - http://myworld.ebay.com/ebaymotors/clocks4bikes/

The mount clocks4bikes just did may not be on their ebay store yet so just call them at 866-856-5825
I got the first one they made and just sent them the photo telling them all is OK. So you can order it from them now but might not see it listed in the catalog.
They called me to let me know my top plates and stem bolts are on their way back to me. Nice people to work with!

I've just fired off an email to them as well asking about dimensions. On their ebay listing - for what I'd be interesting in anyway - they suggest 2" for each dial. The gap between the GS500 bar clamps is 3". And yet, Adidasguy had both on there. Of course, I am comparing the Clocks4bikes stamped ones Adi had with the BSB ones on their eBay that I am interested in. Awaiting their answer.

Michael

Mine are inch and a half. as you saw in the photos, they fit together just fine. I think having both looks better than just the clock. Looks like Clancy has the 1.5" one like I had on my standard bars.
Call them and order what I had (in either white or black face). I'm sure if you mention all of this to prod their memory they would be more than happy to check my past orders and get you the same thing. Mention we've been posting on the same board and that's where you saw what I had. They're really nice people. When you get your clocks, they even set the correct time for your time zone. Take them out of the package and install them with the allen wrench they include.

I saw this from the link posted earlier. I recall our bars are 7/8". Mine have the button for the light. You have the option of with or without the light.

In the email I sent off to them I added a link to this pic...


I asked them about the dimensions cause on this eBay listing it says 2". While I do ride at night, it's usually through the city and there is enough ambient light from street lights and such I don't need a button for a light.

Michael

Just got the email back. Yeah, both the Clocks4Bikes and BSB branded clocks are 1.5" not 2". So... away I go...

Order placed.

Michael

Got in the second one to check out. This one has smooth sides, the other one had a couple shallow groves.
This one went on Suzi. They are the 1.5" size.
