BEC clocks
matt.c - 14/1/07 at 08:34 PM

Been thinking about what im having on my dashboard, I want a set of bike clocks for the rev/speedo but can the other items on the bike clocks be used ie temp/lights/indicators etc?

Do BEC people have oil presure and fuel gauges?

Did think about having a digidash-lite, but it's price is to much for me.

Any idea's would be very helpfull.

Cheers all

I've got a separate gauge for oil pressure, oil temp and water temp. Fuel is handled by my Acewell, although the latest Acewell can do your water temp too.

Acewell's are good value for money £130 for all you'd need apart from oil temp/pressure. (could do it cheaper without their lights and using a bright (bike) 6 and a water temp gauge)



And get a nice SPA dual oil temp/pressure £ 157 (and 10% off atm)

Hi Matt,
I managed to use all of the instrument readouts on our ZX12R clocks. It's very handy as it has a trip, odometer, clock, water temp etc. I've also spliced in indicators, fuel gauge, hi-beam etc. It's not 'that' difficult as long as you follow a very logical path. Also making sure you have the original bike bits. as it is important for ease of installation. Complete and test each circuit before proceeding.
Have fun - it's quite an education!
Steve

We also have a dual oil pressure/oil temperature gauge fitted. As below

My indy uses nearly all the bike bits, except the fuel gauge, but only since I don't have one. All works fine, although having a fuel gauge would mean fitting a sender unit.

How much?! What's wrong with the old, near free Smiths ones? Especially if they fall into your pocket in the scrap yard!

Smiths are mechanical, SPA are nice electronic ones

Don't really want capillary lines going to your dash, do you?

Don't see why not. Maybe just me being tight again! Besides I like mechanical. It can't really go wrong.
