RK clock

I have the fork lock cover style. It is a flip up style so there is no need to trim the key. Bought used on ebay 2 years ago and works great. Changed the battery recently, it came with a tool to open the back with. here is the link;

RK Clock

Yes, I have one.It's been on the bike for 2 years now. No problems, works great, but they are only water resistant, so you need to pop it out when you wash your bike or they get some condensation inside the glass...takes a second to pop out, I'm happy with mine ........I bought mine off the same seller you're looking at .I see the seller doesn't show it apart....it does this, the base screws onto your dash ,then the clock slides into to the base with a suppied silicon ring, So when you need to take it out all you need to do is pry it up with a blade

+1, I've got this one for about 4 years now and its still keeping good time. You need to pull the face out of the body to change the time and battery so its a good idea to change the battery when you set the clock in the spring. (maybe every other year) It's fairly easy to glance at the time with it on the fork lock and its allso a cover for it (looks good to me) If I remember right you do need to trim the original key down a bit but its not a big deal, I have the scull key for mine and I didn't need to trim it. It does fog up in rain (ridden in plenty) but so far its taken a licken and keeps on ticken. lol

I put one on my road King last year and realy like it. It is precisioned machined and looks great on the console. Also, the manufacturer is very honest. Halfbreed

Changing battery

To change the battery all you do is pop the clock out of the base and there is a rubber plug underneath, pop the rubber plug and you're there :-)

Well I still haven't bought one of these yet. I'm ready to, and now I'm leaning towards the one that goes on the fork lock. For those of you that have that one, I'm curious if it stays put. Or does it ever swivel open by itself? Thanks.

I have not tried the one you are looking at, but have used a Formotion for several years.... no problems and good customer service.
