I so very nearly made a typo on clock...

Anyway ref here:
https://www.bikechatforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=199942&highlight=speedo

I decided today to finally get around to removing the clocks with a view to a proper fix. Sadly the clock isn't really user serviceable and the only way to remove the top is to mangle it to buggery..still I had a go anyway in case I could get the top off or hell even see if the bottom comes off instead. My assumption was correct, the only removable part is the top, and it's machined on, so had to mangle it to remove it. It's made the bodge a little neater though, and now there is no glass shards in the speedo Very Happy

It still works, it's still bodged but I dislike the bodge due to it not being 100% airtight (mists up) However getting a proper Hyosung Speedo clock is like gold dust so I am wondering if the clocks from other bikes would fit? or even one of those universal chrome jobbies.
The existing one is cable driven via the front wheel

Sorry pal, parts them selves ain't great for chinese bikes (Hyosung Rt125) I would look at buying some perspex, file it down to fit then super glue it on. You could fabricate a good job if your good that way.

Hyosung aren't Chinese, and parts are available (albeit slowly) through dealers.
