I need to add a clock to my 2013.

Any pics and suggestions?

Here are a few suggestions.

Check out http://www.clocks4bikes.com/ Good quality at a fair price and the owners are great to deal with.

The problem with that last one is that you have to get off of it to read the time...hmmm, well I guess you could have someone ride beside you and yell out the time ever so often. :-/
On to the question at hand. I think the company the made great motorcycle handlebar clocks went out of business (clocks4bikes.com). Therefore, I would look on amazon.com for the one that looks like it is good, though looks can be deceiving. I purchased an inexpensive one from amazon and it is OK, not great, but it gets the job done. I have to check and correct it ever so often, but it does tell time. A lot of riders these days just use their cell phone. I have a RAM mount on my bike for one that I use occasionally.

Oops! Sorry, I hadn't heard they went under. What a shame. Nice little Ma & Pa company.

Yes, sadly they did. What a wonderful couple. They truly built (and I Mean built) wonderful products.
If you go to Clocks4Bikes online now (http://www.Clocks4Bikes.com) this is what you'll find:


After almost 15 years, (and about 60,000 clocks) we’ve decided to shutter Clocks4Bikes and no longer sell clocks and thermometers. Intense foreign competition (China) has caused our business to decline to the point that we must diversify as we close down the clock business.

We will continue to replace batteries and make repairs for the foreseeable future.

In the meantime I will assume you are in the USA,....here's my 2cents:
If you want an affordable and easy to use hook n loop clock solution that other members have used, look at this:

In bad climate, you simply pull it off and tuck it away.

If you want a fancier clock with a fancier price tag that looks similar to the Clocks4Bike, then take a look on eBay and Amazon. Or just google motorcycle clocks.

Others will be along with their input as well, so keep on hanging on

Thanks for the replies.

Pics would be great. I can Google with the best of them but I figured this would be a good source for people that have already mounted one. I just used an old wristwatch face velcroed to the dash on my Zuma 125.

Just looking for other ideas before I go that route again.

Thanks

Alrighty then, we have a better idea of what your aiming for and we know your location. Thank you. (No worries, we will not come visiting uninvited )

Let's wait a bit to see if clocks shown on PCX's will magically appear ....... Poof!

Too bad they don't have "Benny's" stores on L.I..

I've bought cheapo plastic clocks in the past there and velcro mounted them to my motorcycles. I used a hydraulic clutch reservoir as a mounting surface on my Suzuki Bandit. On my KLR I mounted it just above the headlight on the inside fairing surface where I could see it. The first things to consider IMHO are where you want to mount it and how big you need it to be able to see the time while you are riding.

Here's a sample of some cheapo clocks that are similar to what I had but not the same. So I can't tell you if they are good or not. . .you have to look at the reviews. The next time I'm in Benny's I'll see what they are still selling brand-wise and post it here. The one's I've had usually outlast the batteries. The clocks are so cheap that you can either just get a new clock or try a battery replacement. The thing is they can be sensitive to extreme cold or heat because they are LCD. . .and cheap.

You can also buy heavy duty velcro tape and use that instead of the stuff that comes with the clock. Just cut it to size.

I am glad that my 2017 PCX has the clock built in to the speedometer display along with the MPG and Tripmeter.

WN - One more thing. . ..

I spotted these clocks and they don't look bad. . .a little more pricey though. Marlins Accessories Clocks sells them and I think JP Cycles does also. http://www.marlinsclocks.net/Big-Pauls- ... p_108.html

Check out the video on the Marlin's page. . ..

The thing is the ones at JP Cycles are a lot more expensive for some reason. http://www.jpcycles.com/product/724-531 ... swodC74LLA

The easiest way is to get an inexpensive Casio water resistant watch, remove the strap, and attach it with double stick tape where convenient.

Clean the spot you want to attach it to with alcohol or window cleaner first.

The watches are accurate and yoga can find them with solar or 10 treat batteries. You'd also have a stopwatch and timer, if you get a digital one. Get one worth a good backlight, so it's useful at night.

That is what I did on my Zuma 125
