Marlin's Clock for Road King
I want to put a clock on my Road King over the steering lock. Which one is best? I thinking about this flip up model from Marlin's http://www.marlins-motorcycles.com/i...html?c2.html&1
Anyone have one? Does it rattle? Is it sturdy? Good Chrome? Good timepiece?
The Formotion clock says you have to grind down the key for it to work. There are several other knockoffs on eBay that claim all the others are crappy.
If I'm going to "permanently" attach it to my RK, I want a quality piece, even (especially) if I'm going to drop a Benjamin on it.
I did do a search but didn't come up with much in the way of recent, relevant info.
Thanks!

The appear to be good clocks from what I read. I was thinking of this model for the Road King console. The srew attached mount sold separately.

I bought the Marlin's flip model with the additional LED digital display a couple of months ago. Great quality and the clock seems really accurate. True that you don't have to cut down your keys to use the lock. However, there is a tin type sticker when you flip it open that was just slightly off center so the edge of my key was difficult to get all the way into the lock. I just took an exacto knife and trimmed the sticker to better fit the opening and now works perfect. I would highly recommend this one over the others.

Do not mean to come across as being crass and not my intention. My zumo 660 has a clock as does my watch. Because of that I do not usually wear a watch while riding. This is what works for my Road King. Those are mighty pricey. Get a Timex (or a Casio like mine that syncs with the world time clock 4 times a day) or a GPS. The zumo 660 rocks!!!

Harley clock that attaches to swith housing works great easy to read on that location. Also has the matching face to go with road king Gage. Love mine. 59.99 at dealer.
