Hi guys - I am new to the Triumph line. Have a 2005 America. I am looking for accessories to place in the Triumph plate spot on the dash. I have seen some have put clocks or tachs in it but am not seeing where to buy them. Also what do you do with the two rubber spots on the dash? They look like switches go there but nothing is there. Sorry for being dumb on what I am looking for but have not seen any threads like this

http://www.fasteddysports.com for most of your needs, he is a friend and fellow triumph rider and takes good care of us. If he does not have it he can likley get it for you. As for the two spots on the dash, they are there for you to add what ever you like, i used the little round one to pop my alarm light in, some guys use them to put extra light switches and stuff in, they are just extra spots for you to use is all.

Thanks for the help but still can't find what all I need to put snap a clock into the dash? Do I need to buy a bolt on kit to go with the actual clock

Best clock for your bike is right here... Clocks 4 Bikes You can see it on my fork stem (stem mount). It is awesome. The second picture has my old clock, that was a handlebar mount. also good, but I wanted to clean up the handlebars. The clock and tach from triumph I believe are plug and play for the dashmount.

Welcome Chuck. Your best option is to get you a factory tach to put in that spot and get you a clock from a private vendor. The tach is a plug n play, too easy. Like BCarnage said , look up Linda and Ross at Clocks for Bikes, I've dealt with them on several occasions and you won't find better folks.

Always check the prices for Triumph accessories at allthingstriumph.com
before you buy. They usually beat everybody elses prices.
