I kinda like this

What do you guys think?  Maybe off of some kind of ATV I'm guessing.  Would it look stupid between the clocks on some kinda custom mount?

I think its cool & would probably find a place for it sumwhere. It would b cooler if it said honda on the face or if you had 3 new faces printed to match, 2 existing gauges & the new clock.

Great idea boats, think I'll buy it & look into that.  I got replacement decals for my gauges from a guy here in Ontario & my son in laws father has a printing co & might be able to do somthing too.  Thanks

Kinda look like the clock in the dash of my Goldwing Interstate.

Exactly, Lloyd.  Clocks were offered on many early tourers and sport tourers. When the Sabres were first out, many accessories were available, like clocks, and even an altimeter.

On an ATV, you might find an hour meter, to keep track of running time for maintenance(no odometer).
Go metric, every inch of the way!

Thanks for the info guys.  An altimeter huh, seems odd, there is one built into my camera, fairly poor accuracy IMO, when I am up in a plane or under water it seems to have no clue.  Guess I will keep it simple with just a clock :D
