I found this a very satisfactory solution.
 
Items used.
A cheap watch (I paid the equivalent of about 5 US dollars).
A key ring with fob/logo.
A small section of double sided adhesive tape.

Obvious but I'll go through the making of it anyway!

Remove the key rings fob. I used a small hacksaw to cut a section then twisted the remains away with a pair of pliers.
This leaves a leather key ring with a small horizontal leather tubed 'flap'. Take the watch and remove the spring bar pins and strap. Retain at least one spring bar pin!!
Refit the watch to the key ring with spring bar pin through the flap. Add the double sided tape to the underside to retain the watch and prevent it:- a) flapping around and b) putting a strain on the single spring bar retaining pin.

Result is an easy-to-read clock while on the move!!!

looks to me like you should forget the time and get some more miles on that bike.

deejay.
It has been 'once-around-the-clock'..................................... OK, not!
Are US speedos supplied in kilometres an hour priority scale and read distance the same? Well our British (European) ones do and I can't get my head round kilometres covered. So, that is a new replacement MILE READING speedo.

Err, Kevin I guess you have figured now that is British ingenuity at work here LOL. Mind you, we Brits haven't got an Enfield forum site as good as yours is here so ...................................

[RagMan]

Us speedos are in MPH, and the odo is in miles..  Get someone here to send you one over..

Just after I posted that I wondered if I had made an error. Oh well where to you think we learned our engineering? As the Brit car and motorcycle industry proved they are some of the best engineers around.

[LotusSevenMan]

I'd agree Kevin, but we seem to be able to develop great ideas............ and then give 'em away for peanuts (groundnuts?) !

Doh!!!

My PT Cruiser has a beautiful small, retro-looking clock. It's 12 volt & would look appropriate on a Bullet. Check one out. Don't know what they cost. Would send a photo, but don't know how yet.

Aerostich has some neat clocks, thermometers, and compasses that just clip nicely on handlebars at http://www.aerostich.com/catalog/US/Clock-Clip-p-17651.html.  I have the clock on my new Bullet, and the compass on the Bonneville, though I can't say the compass is very accurate...I think it's affected by the metal around it, so probably isn't the greatest,  but the little clock is cheap ($16) and works like a charm--runs off one of those tiny batteries, and they seem to last like the proverbial duracell rabbit.

  OK call me wierd but I have a small clock strapped to my left wrist. I find that I can see it all the time.  It is illuminous as well so I can see it in the dark. If I go into a dark wardrobe and shut the door I can still see it.  As it stays fastened to my wrist at all times it doubles up as a what I call a "daytime piece"  I can also check what time the bus comes.

      Its a Japanese watch but British engineering/ idea

At risk of hijacking.... I saw a picture on this forum of an speedometer in KPH with a white or cream dial. It was beautiful and I would love to have one.

Anyone know anything about them, i.e. where to buy? how much?, etc.

Phil - don't know if this is the one you are thinking about, but there is one speedo available in the UK which has a white face, three warning lights (main beam, neutral and turn signals) asnd which indicates KPH only.  It's fitted as standard to some of the home (Indian) market models.

I bought and mounted one of the small clocks CMW sells; I find it easy to ride and fits with the overall look of the RE nicely.

I needed one because in cold weather I cant roll my gloves down to read my watch and still ride safely...

I learned this lesson because my girlfriend was very annoyed when I didn't call her on a long ride when I was supposed to...

Could you put your watch"time piece" outside of your glove.  I think Micheal Jackson does something like that,--maybe not.

I think he did...   
But I don't think he RODE  an Enfield!!!

I've had this little Formotion clock for over two years.  Weather proof and keeps good time.  Don't ride much at night so lack of a light isn't a problem.
