Clocks, Compasses & Thermometers

Stay oriented on every ride with this compact, made-in-Japan magnetic ball compass. Crafted from durable cellulose acetate, aluminum, and ABS resin, it’s easy to mount at any angle and gives you a quick read on direction while touring. For best accuracy, install away from iron parts or electronics to avoid magnetic interference. Size: 35×42×46mm.

An accurate, durable, easy-to-read liquid-filled compass that simply clips onto any 7⁄8" or 1" handlebar. Luminous 1" floating dial on jeweled pivot provides smooth rotation. Clip is easy to remove for accurate readings away from steel motorcycle parts.

Also as durable as the compass is an easy to read, liquid filled -20°F to +160°F thermometer. It too clips onto any 7⁄8" or 1" handlebar. One inch diameter dial.

The clock clip is specially made for us and features a sweep-second quartz movement that is not really intended for outdoor use but the prototype survived two seasons on Ed’s 500 single so we think it’s OK. YMMV, however.
