The Honda PCX / Forza / ADV150 / SH Forums

Sooo, today I received my clock from the link above. It looks great, BUT:
- clock is for 22 mm handlebar diameter. PCX has 22 mm, but only in the middle and this clock is wider than the space between handlebar mounts, so I had to mount it on side
- that wouldn't be a problem, but handlebar has diameter of 23 mm on side, so I had to use hammer to get clock there
However, everything is in place and I think no one will be able to put that clock down from my handlebar

The clocks4bikes ones fit perfectly in the middle. :/

^^ Indeed it does

looks like the aluminum copy could be narrow enough to sit in the center of the bars.

Personally I use my iphone 5 and Scala Rider Bluetooth headset. When I want to know what time it is I press the button on the Scala rider, the phone beeps in ready to make a call. I say What time is it, and the phone tells me the time. I was able to do it with my iphone 3gs before it broke. I figured it out by accident, I just pressed the button and what time is it and the 3gs told me the time. Aside from that and calling contacts and dialing numbers that's all the 33gs could do. The iphone 5 on the other hand can tell me the weather, tell me how hare stores are from my current location, all kinds of stuff. One of my headsets got damaged and the fm radio isn't working anymore. So I'm about to buy a new set.

At famous cheap-stock Biltema in Sweden we have this watch which seems appropriate:
It has both clock and temperature, has back-lightning and is said to be waterproof. About 20 USD. Is fastened with straps to the handlebar... I think I will get one.

No English on website but it appears it will do the trick! Simple is sometimes better than the more complicated This is a clean style. Do you plan to mount this on center bar? Share a pic when it's mounted

here's mine:

Will do. Unfortunately they don't do mail orders so you have to make visit here to get it... . Or do a picture search to find out other outlets using the same OEM. Agree about simple, no hammer to be used at least. However it may be to wide for finding a good place on the handlebar, we'll see.

I went to that site using Chrome and it says 129 GBP. I don't think that equals $20 .

Don't trust all Chrome says... it's 129 SEK which is very close to 20 USD. Also Chrome: 20 US-dollar = 127,046238 svenska kronor

My husband bought me the Clocks4Bikes for my birthday and it works perfectly in the middle of my PCX. Looks great as well. When they sent it they also had a handwritten card thanking him for the purchase. I think it's a nice touch.

Applause, Applause, Applause for Clocks4Bikes! Do not refrain from buying, they are the Very Best!! (in my opinion and said as read).

Here's my thread showing the Formotion clock I purchased. Still looks great!

Here is the mounted Biltema clock as promised. It got a little cramped in the center section when I also mounted a holder for my Samsung S4 mini, but it worked quite nicely at the end. Plastic straps are good stuff to mount things with! The phone does not hide the instrument panel at all, it is just the photo perspective that make it look that way. Now I only need to find a place to grab some 12V from for the USB charger to be mounted on the handlebar as well... anyone have some suggestions where to get 12V from close to handlebar?

I wanted to pass some things on that you folks might find interesting. First of all, I bought a $1 rubber wrist watch at one of our many Dollar Stores, and I took off the band and tie wrapped the watch to my handle bar in the middle. It is just a little too large to fit between the bar bolts but it is just right sitting on top of them. Cheap solution. Second, for you folks who have Ram Mounts, the Ram Mount cover that goes on the brake reservoir is the sake exact size for the pcx as for the 2006 Suzuki Burgman 400. I sold my Burgman but pulled the 2 Ram Mounts that went on the brake reservoirs. I put one on my wife's pcx and one on my new pcx. My gps is attached there now. Also, since I do not have a 12 volt socket yet, I ran a wire under my seat and attached it to a battery that I normally use to recharge my cell phone, tablet and gps with. I bought it on sale and it is a 20,000 mah battery, which can recharge 2 items at once and has enough juice to fully recharge 20 iphones. I can ride all day and the battery wont completely discharge. I hope these pearls of wisdom are useful to someone out there.

I too was in the market for a clock for my 2013 Honda PCX. I saw this posting recommending Clocks4Bikes and just wasn't impressed with their clocks. I continued to search and found Marlin's Clocks (marlinsclocks.com). This is a veteran owned company that offers a wide variety of faces (all glow in the dark). I wound up getting a dual mount clock and temperature set and love it!
