Cheap solution, $5.99 watch with cutted tabs sliconed on the steering head plug. And it sure looks cheap to so it need a brave driver.

I've got a square digital car clock attached to the right side of the Taco, easy to read but doesn’t quite look the part
A bit big but was only $5, can’t seem to find any round ones that were so popular a couple of years back

 

I purposly refuse to carry a watch. Especially when I am riding.

 

I agree with Trips. We went out for a ride last Saturday and left at 1:00 p.m. and I told my wife that I didn't know what time we would be back. We ended up getting home 10 hours later. I had my cell phone with me, but I never worried about it as it was in the tank bag.

As far as I'm concerned, when I go out for a ride, the occasions that I get, time stands still in my mind.

Have fun all.

 

A lot of scratches there R1000.
Did you saw off the wrist band on the steering plate :-)

 

Yes, the Honda label has taken a lot of abuse from previous users barn keys [&o]. The good thing is that it matches the scraped farings on both sides....I'm however happy as long as it runs like hell, is reliable and takes me to work every day, and it's a really nice bike to drive. It still keeps the friends GSX R 1000 -05 in the back mirror and I dont run like an insane.

Some special info to you as a Swede mate, I went to a go-cart track sunday with the GSX R. It was arranged by SMC and held on pepparrotsbanan in Enköping which is not far from where I live (in Köping). Even though the speed is very low on such small and twistie track, it was very fun to run with friends and others. The next time I'll go with the CBR and update with pictures.

Hahah... barn keys.

Sounds like fun, I was born in Enköping so I know the way.
Is that you + bike on the picture? Really good one! I would put it in a frame and give to your wife as a birthday present.

Have you bought the TomTom yet? I´m starting to understand it now but still struggeling with the bluetooth connection to my ericsson K700i.

 

How nice, then you know a lot about this area. Yes it's me on the gixxer which has about all the bells and whistels I need. I haven't bought the Tomtom rider, the motivation faded somewhat when I came back from Germany with a big hole in the wallet and now is running on known roads only as usual. I'm now thinking of a $50 solution, just to by an extra car holder and put on the bike. There are expandable thermos-like plugs so one can fit e.g. phone holders in the centre hole of the steering head which will make it portable between the two bikes. Then the Rolex/Lidl watch has to be removed, I hope I can live with that...

 

Cool idea!

 

Yes it do seems to be a rather appreciated feature. Yesterday someone got lucky by steeling it from the bike while I filled gas... My $ 800 helmet and gloves where still there, so I'm not complaining.
