Hi, I am no biker, but planning a BEC, so could use some info on bike clocks.
I am planning an injected R1 installation and quite like the look of the bike clocks, I would like to use them. I have searched the forum and I understand the rev counter, speedo (with speedo healer) will work fine, possibly the trip and odo as well.
How about:
- water temp?
- oil pressure?
- fuel level?
- gear indicator (which gear you are in)?

Is there anything else the R1 clocks show?

Basically I would need the lowest possible cost solution, but having rev, speedo, odo, trip, fuel, gear indicator, gear change indicator (these two possibly need to be bought separately - ideas, where?)

What other clocks, switches, lights do I need other than the R1 clock and the 2 gear indicators I mentioned to have what I need?

Thanks,

Gergely

My 98 R1 clocks show milage and trip milage, MPH or KM/H and revs. There are lights for main beam, indicators, low fuel and low oil plus the LCD shows thermostat temperature.

I have a separate lamp for handbrake warning.

Thanks! I have looked in your photo archive and see that you have the clock, a fan switch, a fog switch and a fuel gauge plus I assume a regular time clock.
Does this mean that the fuel gauge is needed as the R1 clock only has a light, but no gauge?
Thanks,

Gergely

The R1 clocks only have a low fuel warning light and no gauge. I fitted a gauge just to be sure, though I suppose you don't need one.

if it works in the bike

you get an oil level warning light not oil pressure

I never bothered with one and my BEC R1 was the most reliable thrashed car I have ever owned I wouldnt worry to much unless you want to fit one

the later R1's have a fuel gauge

The 2003 R1 clocks show Revs, speed, odo, water temp, shift light.
I haven't noticed a fuel gauge but it definately has no gear indicator.
I've used an acumen one so that I know what gear I'm in and revotech oil pressure and temp gauges.

All you need is the bike clocks ( r1 03 ) brake fluid light , fog light switch, and sierra switchgear on the column.

Thanks all!

desyboy, that is a very neat dashboard. Something like that I am planning.

You can use the low level fuel light for handbrake light.
