Beck Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 Unfortinately, I haven't really seen any "high quality" Thermo/clock combo thingies. They are usually of the tack-on variety designed for car interior applications (not waterproof). I have one of these made by "Fizz" on my bike that works good enough for me, cause I'm mostly a fair weather rider. MVC-010F.JPG I think you should look into brands like VDO who's a big, established name for all sorts of vehicle instrumentation. They should carry marine grade instruments that would work on motorcycles, but you moight end up with separate temp and clock units, instead of a combo. There must be enough space on the PC fairings/instrument panel, to fit in two small VDO instruments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer blkrabit Posted February 24, 2007 Author Member Contributer Share Posted February 24, 2007 I'm going to hijack my own thread and ask you how you did your black handlebars, Beck. Paint? Powdercoat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beck Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 I'm going to hijack my own thread and ask you how you did your black handlebars, Beck. Paint? Powdercoat? I guess you noticed. They were silver (VTR1000 bars from eBay) and just a little scratched up from when the previous owner removed the grips, so I decided to re-finish them. I picked satin black, because I didn't think I'll ever find the original's gunmetal color paint to match the clutch and brake reservoirs. Satin black paint from a good ole rattle can. Good prep/cleaning/sanding and multiple thin coats gives you OEM quality paintjob. Beck 95 VFR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
