Highly recommend the bar-mounted analog clock and temperature units from Marlin Clocks.

I think they have a sale on right now.

I've been through several attempts to have a working clock on the Touring, perhaps a bit more stylish and one that did not require me take my eyes off the road in order to look down at the Touring tank-mounted instrument cluster. And maybe I even have to find the info scroll button with my right thumb, and click it a few times to get to the time display, all the while, stealing precious attention from maintaining positive control.

I found an OEM Triumph clock, and it was DOA, and apparently not easily repaired.

I ordered a clock through Harley accessories, and that one too was bad.

I ordered a Marlin clock and temperature gauge, had problems with the clock from the start.

Unlike the previous vendors, a rep from Marlin worked with me all through the fall, finally sending me a replacement. That one is keeping excellent time -- and of course, now needs to be adjusted ahead an hour.


 
They look nice, but WOW!
Harley prices also.


Clocks cause stress. 29 years glued to the clock was enough for me!
I do carry a temp gauge on the bars that has worked for 5 or 6 years.
Nice to know that when I am feeling too hot, tis over 100º.

I keep telling myself to get a clock on the bars as I find trying to look at my wrist watch with jacket and gloves on is a real PITA and not having any hands on the bars is not that good of a look.

But then I think again I will get to were I'm going when I get there. If I'm early if I'm late it doesn't matter as long as i get there.

But a temperature gauge Now that would be nice.
