We added clocks to our PCX 150s this week...

They came from Clocks4Bikes - nice product, fast shipping, made by bike folks for bike folks.

Those clocks are nice but pricey. I'm happy with my $5 ebay clock and thermometer.

Plenty of options to take care of the time... I'm partial to that OEM look. Being a retired guy, I hardly ever wear a watch anymore. ;)

I like it, I like it a lot.... and the couple that sell/make them! Cheers to a well crafted, good looking piece ;) Here's the one I bought from them for my 2005 Honda Shadow (this one fits 1" bar). Sold the Shadow, kept the clock. PCX bar 7/8 :(

Can you wrap some tape around the PCX bar to fatten it by 1/8" so the clock fits?

Ya know I've been thinking about that, but it's held by a "set screw" to the bar. I wonder :roll:

Whitenoise, you could easily install a small shim around the bar (a strip of aluminum from a coke can would work).
Or just glue it on... that's what I did with my $10 timex.

...Is that a bike handlebar on your PCX?

Interesting mod, to say the least. ;)

dasshreddar, that looks very cool (on your very cool bike! ;)
I don't think gluing mine would work because of the wrap-around-bar base it has.
Like Taz suggested too.....I may have to find a shim that won't scratch (rubber?) and can take a set screw pinch to fasten it tight. I gots lots of odds, ends & bits to look through. Will I look? :roll: maybe.

always a lot of good ideas on the PCX site. I've been looking around for an old wristwatch (elec) to put on my bike. I like how you all have them attached. ScooterKim

I am using a Daytona Aquaprova digital tachometer on my scoot, I chose this model over others as it has a very visible clock on it.

That's pretty neat. You know the time and also what day it is!

Do you have a link for the tachometer? I like the looks of it.

I had this tach for years now,bought it originally from a scooter shop. Have a look on Ebay you will easily find them under 'Koso Tacho'...
