I'm in the same boat as you. I made my clock mount out of aluminium plate and then put a rubber lip over all the edges. It looks okay, but from the front it is quite untidy and needs to be lower to accommodate / hide the placement of the standard clocks wiring which goes right into the top of the clocks annoyingly. The most annoying thing is the ignition is really bulky and sticks right out making it hard to mount everything close together. The clock can't go too far down or you have to have them too flat and makes reading them hard, but then I can't make my single headlight any higher to compensate or the back of its housing hits the ignition. :'( I am going to try and lower the clocks as far as I can, then try adding a smoked fly screen to cover it all. I have also contemplated getting some Koso gauges and would go for the cafe style set up like you have demonstrated, but they're quite expensive and seem a lot of hassle to wire in. I also need to make some frame infills to cover all of the ugly radiator hoses and old fairing tabs on the frame but not 100% on how I will do that just yet. I'm not too fussed about how it looks at the moment anyway as long as it's fun to ride, I will sort the cosmetic stuff out over winter.
