mini clocks i got from a local bike shop ! i'll try and find them for ya or get you the link mate oh i've found them for ya cheap as well ps, say they are for a yamaha becuase the ratio's are different to other jap bikes ! www.thefastone.co.uk/products.asp?cat=294they are a doddle to fit just used the 2 clock mounts on you top yoke ! then i mounted the ignition cluster of a f2 ypvs that gives you your indicators/oil warning/neutral etc the only thing i sacrificed is the temp gauge ? i can send you a picture of my set i you want ? the filters are s&b ones (you will need to rejet tosuit you bike tho mate ) hope this helps you
