Really looks nice. I don't dislike the stock clocks but this probably looks better.
Thanks for your feedback, Tom.
FYI you do not need to take out the headlight bulb, just take the two side screws off the alum. Bracket to lower the headlight, and the new version all those little black circles are molded together to make a ring that just drops in the holes under the dial makes it so much easier
Thanks for the tip, Jonathan. We try to stick with the instructions that came with the part(s) or service manual in our videos but you’re right, there are often a few shortcuts possible.
I like the black rings with the chrome frame. It looks alot better and it should have been built that way.
Awesome vid and job! Coming from a guy who has done a lot of this type of work, If I could critique this in anyway I would advise to rest the gauge in place and start the bike up to make sure tach and speedo needles are working/zeroing before you put everything all back together. Learned the hard way too many times😆
You’re very right, Jason. Sometimes we get a bit too confident in our work. Thanks for your comment.
@@3ftDeepChannel welcome. And I was thinking after I commented maybe you did check it but for video purposes left that part out. But for others doing this job and reading comments would be a good idea! Sometimes needles don’t get “zeroed” and you have to move them. Would really really stink to have to tear it all back apart. Love your channel and style of work. Keep it up!
Pretty sure you don't have to dismantle the light to that degree. Just undo the side brackets and let it drop down with something to support it if you're worried about the cables.
One question, does removing the hands and replacing them in a position different from the original one do not affect the accuracy of the dials? Great videos, thanks a lot for sharing your journeys!🙏
Thanks for the kind words! Yes, it would. That's why it's important that the hands are set to the correct position on your dial so as to not change the accuracy of the dial.
WTF. Congatulations. Thats a lot of tricky handwork.
Thanks, Arizona.
big improvement
We think so.
chapeau !
Merci!
Looks good. I have a set, just not sure if it’s worth the effort?
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder!
@@3ftDeepChannel yep, must admit they do look better! I feel a winter project
@@chriscarbaugh3936 It's more like a Saturday morning project, it's pretty quick
I just wonder why did you dismantel the ligh from its cover there was no need any way good job mate
I assume you meant the headlight. That makes the job much easier and faster, and is recommended in the instructions that came with the kit.
What I don't like about the Arton is that in daylight (not in the garage) the indicator lights simply do not come through well. I've been thinking to switch back because of that.
I haven’t heard Chris complain about that yet, but thanks for your comment.
I can't see mine on stock 22 unless I really look. I like the black simple look.
@@wretchlikeme5321 so it's the same problem either way? I was wondering if I installed the little light tubes incorrectly.
I installed them but now my high beams come on when I start bike and the light on clock is on low beam? Anybody?
It shouldn't have affected your electronics if installed properly. Check your wiring. There may be a pinched wire somewhere. Good luck.
Why pull the headlight out of the can? Could you just drop it from the ears all intact?
Maybe. We like to follow the service manual / product instructions to the letter to avoid any issues. If people find shortcuts …power to them.
@@3ftDeepChannel I see. I installed these new clock faces recently and all I did was to undue the bolts on either side of the headlight can and drop it down onto a towel placed on the mudguard. I do like the new faces. Night and day. Nice job.
Thanks, Rob.
Don't understand why one wud change the gorgeous factory fitted dials for something so plain Jane beats me
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder…
The numbers on the oem tach oddly match the oem speedometer.
Good catch.
It’s easy, beauty is in simplicity, new ones are much more fitted to bike style, factory dials are overdesigned
We agree. Thanks for your comment.
Looks bland
They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder…
