[QUOTE="Simon Dinsdale, post: 122092, member: 58"] Virtually all the 8 day clocks on eBay are car clocks and will not last when mounted on a motorcycle forks. They are also too large a case diameter and depth. The correct motorcycle 8 day clock is the same size case as a motorcycle chronometric speedo case, uses the same glass and bezel and mounts the same as a speedo. The internals are more robust and mounted on a shock absorbing mount to allow the mechanism to have a chance of surviving. The motorcycle clock was also printed with Smiths on the face and not Jäger. The cheaper and easier way of getting a correct looking clock that lasts is to fit a quartz battery clock mechanism inside a speedo body and get a face printed. The correct original 8 day motorcycle clock is very difficult and costly to find. Simon [/QUOTE]
