Stem nut clock from the 'States

[wreckage]

Received my little, shiny trinket yesterday in the mail. I know riding's all about forgetting the rat-race, but sometimes it's nice to know the bloody time. Like when you're old. And have a wife. Mmmm.

I found it (eventually) on eBay under MOTORCYCLE CLOCK STEM NUT and reckon it's not a bad idea. The major problem I can see is that if a passer-by thinks they might want it, then it wouldn't take too much to reef if off the stem nut. That's why it needs some extra assistance.

There's a small set screw (arrowed) that has a 3/32 Allen head. The instructions say "...do not over-tighten the set-screw or damage to the mount may occur". I guess that means that neither the screw nor the female thread in the mount are too strong. Anyway, to try to dissuade theft as much as possible, I drilled a concave indentation into the stem nut so the set-screw has something to locate itself with. A bit of Loctite and that's really the best I could do. The alternative is of course, to carry a 3/32nd Allen key around with you and remove the bugger every time you stop. Right.

Either way, I reckon it's fuckin' pretty. Oh.. and they're cheap.

Cheers.

Nice that Wreckage, how cheap? I usually buy a cheapo Casio and remove the strap then velcro it to the top yoke - but that looks much better.
