Well for a start, I'm 28 and from Denmark, souther Denmark. I ow a Honda XRV 750 Africa Twin from 1993. I drive all year long, in all kinds of weather, even ice and snow.:at:

Hi Suhir - welcome on our forum!
Are you asking for alternative to OEM cockpit or you want to buy second hand parts to replace broken pieces?

EDIT:
...and what do you mean by "cockpit"?

There is few people who upgraded their clocks to digital - and also few of the lads arranged their dashboard in a different way
to have extra space for navigation, roadbooks, andd other toys ;)

There is few types/models of digital clocks available on the market.
- Vapor: http://trailtech.net/vapor.html
- Acwell: http://www.acewell-meter.com/
- Koso: http://www.koso.com.tw/

You need to decide which one you need, and which option is the most important for you.

Some of us took clocks away and fited GPS Navi instead...

Now I have been looking at the different cockpits, and can't figure out witch to take.

I have been looking in to, if it is legally for me to drive around, just with my GPS, and it seams that the Danish rules says that I need a working cockpit.

I need the basics from the original, with speed, rpm, tachometer, light indicators. I ride allot on all types off surfaces, in all kinda weather, so it has to be able to keep water, ice and frost out.

Witch one would you buy?

Thnx in advance. :-)

Im sure that all of this meters are weather proof - so you can use them in any weather conditions.

Which one to choose?
I can't help you with that... personally I wouldn't buy any, I just like analog clocks...

Read their specification and decide which one meets your requirements...

If I had to replace clocks e.g. because changing fairings I would choose something simple (not to flashy).

Check out xrv.org.uk for more info (in English) about digital meters.

And don't forget to give us some info (and pictures) of final of your repair...

Musisz sobie zrobić z aluminium i okleić folią ;)

Czyli tak jak na początku chciałem to zrobić myślałem jedynie że to z jakiegoś innego materiału jest nie z alu

U mnie (to pierwsze zdjęcie) to była blacha alu 2 mm i malowanie lakierem strukturalnym. Musi to być matowe/ chropowate, żeby światło się nie odbijało, bo by się nie dało jeździć w słoneczne dni.
