custom clock faces

  1. Hi all

    Thought ild post these up.

    I had a damaged set of clocks lying around and wanted to try something new,

    So I bought another set of faulty clocks and went about stripping both and making one fully working set,

    I never really liked the faces so I made these instead

    These were the originals

    Then I made new faces, I made a couple as the ones in the picture got creased

    Then fitted and all working

  2. Very nice...not sure how the MoT man will take to the lack of numbers on the speedo though.
     
  3. I fitted these over the top of the old numbers and when you turn them on. They show through.

    I just prefer the blank silver faces when it's turned off
     
  4. nice how did you make them? i remember making a set for my hailwood rep with card and letraset
     
  5. I own a sign company, so easy for me. Just wish it was that easy with electrics
     
  6. that could be a service you could offer here , but be aware most of the members want some thing for nothing :biggrin:
     
  7. I'd say there is a gap in the market after Superdials closed up shop a while ago, they did sell their equipment etc. on to Lockwood but I am not sure how good they are or even whether they do any bike stuff.

    I had a set of custom dials made up for my 998 (by Superdials) and I have always liked them and they are so much easier to read than the Black\Green rev counter of the original.

    There is a bit more work than meets the eye though as the 748/9** need to be carefully "unsealed" converted and then tested for accuracy when back together. I have watched the whole process on my own dials and it's not a 5 minute job.
     
  8. What they look like lit up, still need to change the lcd rubber connectors as i changed the screens and was still the same
