Default Clock in the odometer???

Ok call me crazy. But I have never once before noticed that there is a clock in the odometer on my '12 Street Glide. I filled up today and as I was clicking through to my trip meter I noticed it. I have scrolled through the odometer many, many times before and never recall seeing a clock. In fact it has never been set. Could I be that blind to have missed it all these times before??

I'm thinking you probably have a "miles to reserve" indicator as well?

Damn, I will search for a clock on my RK custom. I had to buy a $6 wrist watch @ BigLots and modify it to stick to the break reservoir. You think i'll be that lucky?

That must be it. I just recently changed to an aftermarket head unit. I was wondering if that might be it.

Yup thats it. We used to have time on stock radio. I thought that was cool that time showed up on odometer when stock radio was removed.

Would explain why it was never set. Because it wasn't there. At least I know I am not crazy now.

Waydumminit! - Are you saying that if I remove my HD head unit, that the bike "knows" that and magically starts showing a clock in the odometer? Wow! That's incredible! Kind of like the old thermos bottle joke - "but how do it know?"
