Been looking for a clock for my Stella for a while - really like the ones actually made for cycles but more money than I wanted to spend just so I know what time it is....

I found this one on Amazon for $12.62

water resistant/dust proof

I am pretty pleased with it
By the way... it came with some pretty good velcro but I really like to use 3M Dual Lock fastener tape so I put it on with that.

Thanks for sharing the link. That definitely looks great on a bike and much cheaper than the Formotion clocks. Your first pic looks like it glows; does it?

Here is mine, also an Amazon purchase. It was $16.00. Not a Velcro set-up: it positioned very nicely on the windshield, secured with original bolt but since the bolt would not fit inside the holding case I reversed the bolt to the outside of the windshield

Very handy having one...I always wear a watch.... but with a jacket..that doesn't work very well...I forgot to add I think mine was about 8.00 and it has a cool alarm on it...that you can actually here while riding....even with the pipe on the bike....

Mine has little dots that glow as well as clock hands, I think

Nice installs. Wise to go with analog as well. Years ago I mounted a cheap digital on my bike and can report that LCD displays do not handle extremes of heat and cold at all well.

The Formotions aren't cheap but look very sturdy and well-made.

Yeah... I like the Formotion clocks but I didnt want to drill a hole to mount one & at $30 I would have been concerned that someone would steal it if I mounted it with velcro like my current clock.

The current one isn't any less likely to be stolen, just cheaper to replace.

I just rock the wrist watch still, since I have to wear one anyways for work since I can't take a cellphone into a performance or in the studio. Besides, my wife went through the trouble of finding an original model Casio calculator watch, so I better use it with pride

Then again, my Kymco's on-board clock crapped out due to the 115 degree heat in AZ long ago. Everything else on the bike has been flawless... except for the cheap-ass digital clock

Well, I'm a Watchaholic...and have a huge watch collection and always wear one....but with a jacket and gloves on it's too hard to see unless I stop....Phone, same problem in pocket....This takes care of it cheaply...and at 8.00 bucks, if it stops or gets stolen, it's no big loss.... I really like the Windshield install!!!!
