After having broke the clock on my Valk I searched for a replacement.The handlebar clocks that are available,to me are a waste of time as they're too small.
I couldn't decide on a digital or analogue clock so I bought them both to see what they would look like.The analogue clock came as a set of three with a thermometer and a hygrometer.
I've decided to go with the set of three.
I also bought some blue Led bulbs for my dials.The trouble is,the original green tint in the clocks coupled with the blue leds make them show up purple.Is there a way around this.In the dark photo they show up blue,but to the naked eye they're definatley purple.
The set of three dials are also a little bit too bright.I'll see if I can dim them down a bit.

Got the 3 set from Ebay,they're not brilliant quality but I think they look ok.
Time will tell if they last any length of time.

How are the LED's powered......self contained battery in each guage or from the bike?   Didn't see anywhere in that auction where it said.....just that they come with a blue led.

They have their own button batteries with an on/off switch on the top.The time clock has a seperate battery to run the clock as well as button batteries for the led.

They look good, have you got any ideas how to water proof them?
