I don't mind them, but I do know what you mean. The Scrambler has a smaller headlight so it makes it more noticeable.
If the bracket is fucked then I was thinking about buying a flat one as the price is the same - not sure if it will make it less readable though.
The clocks you linked look good. I often too and fro between aftermarket stuff. Most is very well made, but sometimes it looks a bit... too aftermarket. For eg I added a clutch cable gaiter thingy, and toyed with an end cover, but they all just looked to "add-on", if that makes sense?

Really sorry to hear this man. Absolute bastards out there.
I don't know about you but I always found the OEM dials a bit too big and a bit too angled. If I ever got them damaged I'd be looking to replace with an improved set, something like this:

They look solid and while they're not identical to oem I think it's an improvement.
Some arsehole did a hit and run on my bike while it was parked last month. The only thing that's really made it bearable is being able to upgrade the bits I wanted to and have it come back looking nicer. Worth bearing in mind.
