Default turned a Harley gas tank into a clock for the man cave

I was down at my local Harley dealership poking around the take offs room for some wall art when I spotted this killer NOPD road king gas tank! At first I was going to cut it in half and hang up the two sides then I had the idea to make a clock. Luckily I had all the chrome bits that I took off of my bike when I blacked it out. So a quick trip to Michaels netted me the clock mechanism and I had the mother of pearl guitar pick guard material from another project, 10 min in the shed and I came up with this.













Just thought I would share.

I like it. I've done a few Jeep CJ speedos. . . Can't find a pic. Here is the cam gear and piston from my old Jeep engine I swapped out. Its in my shop.

Where do you put the gas cap when you "Spring ahead"?
