Clock Mounts

My next job on the bike was to make mounts for the clocks, The originals bolts onto the headstock, this means the clocks needed to clear the forks and stuck out at the front of the bike. This looks silly on a naked bike so I decided to make a new mount that used two M8 tapped holes on the top yoke as a mounting point.

This means the clocks will now turn along with the bars and it will all be alot neater at the front end. I used two ally spacers and some 20x3 steel flat bar to make the mount, I started by welding two plates onto the original clock mounts so the bolts holes were still in the correct place once all the MIG welding was complete I set about chopping all the bits off that were no longer needed.

Once they were mounted they needed more trimming to stop them fouling the ignition barrel but other than that they fitted a treat and the 30 degree angle for the clocks is perfect when sat on the bike.
