Titus,
Good to see the original Clock - and there is a 'parasitic' drain from it - the only thing on the 'bike that does so.  I disconnect the Battery completely these days.  [Hmm - maybe a 'bike alarm does?]

Re: Battery - I have Yuasa batteries that last many years, the Motobatt's only last 12 mths. Luckily the KLR and the T400 Tig have the same size battery, so can swap between them.

It is on and off. I often like it, but then there are times when I miss my Tiger. ;)

(And times when I watch Harry do Sand Raiders...)

The Motobatt I had on tiger lasted 13 months  went back to Yuasa which I now have on all my bikes. May have had a dud one but have used Yuasa for many years without issue.

Re the clock. I think its live all the time, but backlight only when lights on.
Re MotoBatt. I have had a couple. On my Steamer I had a MBTX14AU . Generally they are OK, but a few have reported they have  had issues.

The Pacific Northwest offers beautiful landscapes and a vibrant lifestyle. Consider areas like Eugene, Oregon, or Bellingham, Washington, for their mix of suburban tranquility and access to nature. Research local amenities, climate, and community vibes to find your perfect fit. Best of luck on your adventure!

Clock is here !!! Very happy with my purchase, thank you Phill for giving me courage!
All I had to do is change the bulb, works like a charm, lucky I had spare little bulbs from the w124 ✌️
Question, is the clock always powered? On my Vfr it came on with ignition but had a little battery, this one doesn't so I guess it always on, just asking

Very ambitious of them, went 160 kph max, felt very unsafe, maybe it's from a Daytona, p.o. did some weird stuff to it now it's my job to restore it to factory condition.
Also got some bags from Louis which are easy to instal just remove the seat and hang them there.
Don't need them around town and to work, will only use them when we go about and need some clothes.

Jeez! You'd have to hang on tight at 320 kph!!
Mine maxes out at 220 kph.  Looks like yours is off a Daytona?

Previous owner drilled a big hole in the left fairing, fitted a nice voltmeter and usb charger hooked up to a open connector in the wiring loom which has 12v switched.
By tomorrow I should have the clock and she will be complete.
Is the 320 kph speedo normal? Or maybe it's borrowed from a sprint or other triumph? Mine was made for the german market.
