Title: Fitting new clocks case
Post by: Andrew Fisher on Monday, 18 May 2020, 12:06 AM
Hello.

I need to replace the bottom half of the clock case on my k7. Have ordered genuine suzuki one and all I can see on the bike is a single recessed screw on the base of each clock. Any tips would be welcome before I start. thanks in advance.

That where the single screw that holds the bottom on goes in (Yes that simple).
They are just covers the weight if the clocks is taken by the metal mounting bracket .
Be sure to line everything up before tightening everything fully .
Good luck  :cheers:

The bottom half of my clock covers on my K3 have a dull silver finish to them, i would like to swop them for the chrome look ones but a bit pricey IMO e.g  click on link.

My bottoms are ok but get lots of condensation in both clocks - was looking at these

I see from their advert that they will be perfect for us in the UK but the lads down under might have a problem with them.

"High quality speedometer cover material is durable and easily broken by impact or sun shining."  :whistling:
