Default Softail Deluxe Clock install

Has anyone installed a clock on a Softail Deluxe? If so, what brand and where did you install the clock on the bike? I was looking at the stem?


Thanks

Geese had a clock & thermometer for sale on the parts for sale on this forum a couple of days ago. Check it out. He answered a question about how they mount. http://www.HDForums.com/m_2654986/tm.htm

If you send me your e-mail address, I will send you a picture of a unique way to mount a Formotion Clock and Thermometer to the dash nut.

I got one of Marlin's clocks for my Standard and put it on the fork stem. Easy installation and easy to read.

I have a little one in black that sticks to the master cylinder.
Not obtrusive at all, and most people don't even see it.

Formotion makes one that glows.
Mine has a white face and does not illuminate or glow.
I can see the time just fine as long as there is a car behind me or as i pass under a streetlight.
I usually only really care about the time during the day because I'm commuting.

between my jacket and gauntlet gloves, watch is out of the question for me.

I put a Marlin Stem mount onm the wifes Deluxe. Looks great, and is easy to see during daylight hours, or under a streetlight.

Install takes all of 3 minutes...IF THAT!!

I have a formation stem mount. I love it. Let me know if you want to see pics of how it looks. I love the way it lines up with the dash so it doesn't look out of place. The steering stem is the way to go.
