Glowshift Clocks, has anyone used these yet?
Hi Everyone,
I am now back in the running for another Kit :-) (Stupid me I hear you say)
However this time I won't be using a bike engine in a car as such, I will be using an R1 engine mounted in its natural mounting position using
its standard chain setup in a reverse Trike. I think after my ultra dissapointing year with my MNR and a feeling that the all in 1 Digidash had some
role to play in failure of the Oil pressure I am going down the individual clock route.
I don't need Oil Pressure clocks or anything really over the top.
The main clocks I need are: Speedo, Tacho, Fuel level, Water Temp, Volts
I initially looked at the Koso RX-2, however I am in the same plight with that, needing to flick through various screens to see what I need. I am in
no doubt that if the MNR had, had seperate clocks for Oil etc, the damage caused at 9000RPM may have been averted.
I plan to fit Glowshift Clocks. They are made in the USA and I had already bought the fual gauge for my MNR. They look very cool, and I wondered if
anyone else had fitted them?
Just wondering on how easy they are to wire in? They do a loom allowing all the clocks to be daisy chained together for the power, which is a real
bonus.
I think I will still get Garry form Autosparks to wire it in anyway.
Any Feedback would be great and pics too.
Cheers
Nick

I am sure it would, but I want my TR1KE to look the buisness too. I defo don't want another all in one unit if I can help it.

glad to hear you are getting a new project
but from what I heard with the last one, the problem was not enough oil in the engine..
I would have thought an oil presure gauge was the first thing you would be fitting.
good luck with the build.

The problem with the last one was I suspect the setting for oil pressure was not on due to the Digidash selection feature, I can't say for sure
as it wasn't me who had it on a rolling road.
I won't ever risk that again. I won't ever risk a Rolling Road again either
I will fit all these things when I get my kit, still in the process of ordering it as of yet.

Oil in Engine
Just to say, there was plenty of oil in the engine, The sump alone had over 3 litres in, and the Accusump held a further 1.4 litres, however something
on the oil side totally went wrong.

spa design dual gauges would be your best bet, very accurate and can show 2 things on each clock at once.
