Clocks

Hi

Is this wire holding bracket meant to be touching the clocks. It has literally scratched into the clock casing :-(

Thanks for the input

 

Something for me to do this weekend

 

Thanks a million to all for the advice; -)

 

I have removed the clip. I couldn't bend it using pliers. I am going to need something heavy duty. I'll have a look around.

I thought I bought a crashed bike. I did the hpi full check and all came out good. I checked the bike thoroughly for any tell tale signs of crash...headstock, stoppers, frame, forks, behind the clocks etc. I went through it properly.

What I don't understand is how us that cable guide clip is soo close to the clocks that I had contact with the clocks! !!!! I'm baffled

 

I have no idea. I'm new to the s3 world. How will I spot this or what should I be looking at.

I'll see if I can see a close up pictures on the Web n compare it

 

Right. I just read some n people use street triple brackets for lowering the headlights. Here is the picture of the street and speed. I'm going to see what sort of bracketsI have

 

Darkman you are spot on. Mine is lowered. Didn't the previous owner thought to do something about the clearance issue. I will try bending but somehow from the looks it will still have an issue. I might just remove the clip it all together n ride without

 

You think it will be ok to go without the clips. Cheers

 

I might just remove the clip altogether. Last thing I need is the clip getting caught with clocks :-(. If you zoom in....you will see the clocks are all the way lowered

I might put some locktite on the bolts n feed the cable tie neatly around the cables.

 

I just saw these two bolts that allows you to tilt the entire bracket up or down by loosening those to allen bolts. I think if I tilt the unit down a little then it will be fine. Am I on the right path or am I talking crap

 

Sorry forgot to attach the pic

 

Thanks a million muzhik

It makes a lot of sense now. Mine has definitely been lowered. And I like the way it is. My only option now is to get rid of the clip and improvise something in its place.

Once again thank you for finding those posts for me
