I bought a used HD brand clock from eBay. It screws on to the throttle side of the bars. It's not lighted, but it cost $10.

Yeah yeah you guys with your Dakota's keep rubbing it in! I want one but have too much on my "list" to even think about it right now.

Aerostich has a handlebar clip on that is pretty cool. About $17.00 and good for a few years. I like seeing an analog clock face, but I just use the digital factory one now to clean up the bars.

I just put a Marlin's on my handlebars. I proudly haven't worn a watch since I retired a few years ago, but there are times when it's good to know if you're running late or not...

No clock on the bike. When I ride I rely on my incredibly accurate internal body clock, which I have found to be accurate to within +/- 4 hours!

When I'm on my bike is one of the few parts of the day where I really don't care what time it is.

I mainly just use my wrist watch, I might have to peel back some clothing to see it, but I just flip the lever on my $20 "cruise control" and take a peek.

I already had the Marlin stem mount clock,but if you turn off the performance menu on your Dakota it's faster to scroll through the remaining functions.

Thanks for the tip! I'm not really up on my Dakota's features, but I don't think I have it set on a performance menu....Something I'll definitely look into.

My Dakota digital is just mounted in a non-factory place that only allows me to awkwardly reach with my right (throttle) hand while riding, and scrolling through the default menu alone takes my eyes and hand too long to do. That's why a simple clock, like your Marlin or a cheap dollar store watch sounds like a good idea.

By the way, I love my Marlin temp gauge, so I expect their clocks to be of the same quality.
