- Thread starter Diluted
- Start date
sorry.... did I start something on FB?I heard enuff flaming arldy, im happy with the placement)
Do you need a hug? Ill wisper that I like the placement and it looks like a natural fit :iconbeer:Added a 12v outlet and GPS to the bike. The plug looks like it belongs there, I tell ppl it's my Transformers button
(I know it seems low in the picture, but the GPS for me is just an aid and with my short ass I really don't look down much to see where I'm going so keep those comments in your head, I heard enuff flaming arldy, im happy with the placement

Thanks Rook.
I can't take credit for the installation, though I did watch so I could learn and I could easily explain/do again. I love having the outlet, I can now charge anything
The GPS is just on the black pieces on our handlebars by velcro (I'll add a piece of zip tie for travel for piece of mind) so it can be removed. Going to add some to my radar so I can swap those out.
We almost drilled a hole into the black plastics and mounted it in there so It looked like the came with the bike...buuuuuut I do not like drilling so its on the handlebars

Maybesorry.... did I start something on FB?
Nah, I realize it's low, but I don't rely on the GPS, it more for piece of mind and not spending money on a mount. I'm happy with it and its easier to see then it looks, im short 
I had already put on my Windscreen (Puig Dark Smoke), but finally got around to washing the bike, putting it on the stands, lubing the chain, peeling the old wheel stripes off, scraping the glue off, and putting the new Tapeworks #6145 stripes on.
The new stripes aren't as reflective, but match much better.
Afterwards, took her out to mail a package at the post-office, and detoured to the interstate, hitting a new high speed of 90mph (ok, not huge, but fast for someone that spends 99% of their time in busy city traffic). I didn't blow me away, but I did notice the wind was smoother with the Puig, however it felt like my helmet was going to fly apart at 90mph. Every part on it was rattling like crazy and I thought the shield was going to snap off Can't wait for my new Bell Vortex to get it!

I love mine, I have a different model and its just a nice peace of mind. I also think its a light deterrent from idiots to sit on it or anything cuz it will give warning beeps before it goes off. I had to park it in a apartment parking lot for the first....6 months plus of owning the bike and it just offered a small percentage that it was "safer" I know, I know someone could just pick it up, blaring away and put it inthe truck anyway, still blaring..but i at least hope someone would hear it going off and call it in, lol
I think that placement of your GPS looks really integrated with the bike!Added a 12v outlet and GPS to the bike. The plug looks like it belongs there, I tell ppl it's my Transformers button
