NC30 / NC35 clocks

Post by manicguitarist » Wed Mar 18, 2015 2:22 pm

Am I right in thinking that the NC30 and NC35 clocks are interchangeable?

If so - this got me thinking.

My clocks on my NC35 have a Lockheed replacement dial on, so they display MPH correctly - but the odometer & trip meter still record in KPH.

Obviously it'd be great if I could get MPH on either.

I guess this leads to 2 questions:
1. Just how scarce are UK model NC30 clocks - could Honda supply them?
2. How hard would it be to "reset" the odometer on a replacement set of clocks to match the actual MILEage that is currently on the existing KPH clocks?

<yeah...I'm bored....>

As far as im aware clocks are long unavaible for uk model, but i shit you not they are like 1000 pounds

uk clocks super rare, people with uk bikes willing to pay high prices, good clocksets regularly fetch 250+

odometer is easy enough to change.

id forget about it, mph or km/h is no different relaly it still records a distance travelled and you can keep track.. save the money and get some fancy bits for the bike instead

Fit a kph to mph converter from e bay to the speedo then it will read and record miles.
Take a note of the reading and convert to miles to keep a true mileage record.

In answer to the first line of your post, while NC30 and 35 speedos may be interchangeable, the complete clock sets are not - the tachometer output signals from the ignition boxes are different so neither model`s revcounter will work on the other bike.

Ah I didn't even notice this but as always Rick's info is spot on. The Tacho signal is different between the two models so the revcounters dont plug and place..

Besides there are no UK NC35 clocks as it was a JDM only bike. If you did get a UK NC30 clockset you'd just have to swap the speedo unit over which you can do to the best of my knowledge.

Some suggestions on here are good. If money is no option here are you options.

You can

1. get a uk set of clocks in mph and set them to your bike and just plug them in
2. get a motrax convertor and plug it in and from then on its mph, if you wnat to go the exta mile reset the odomoter reading the miles before installing the motrax then everyting is miles but you only uselike half the speedo
