Quick spin.

[thumper]

Out for a quick spin yesterday to try out my Garmin 62ST. At first i thought the screen would be to small, however once positioned correctly it worked perfectly well and give accurate info. Also fitted a Tool Tube, it stayed on the bike with no rattles. Looks cool also i think. Happy new year to you all.

All looks very impressive, do like the tool box. But where's all the snow? And why is that puddle behind your bike not a frozen block of ice?
Don't start trying to make out you've got a different climate……You're on the same God damn island that I live on.

Lol, weather on the west coast of South Wales quiet mild yesterday. Just managed a spin in between the showers.

800gs

stupid question, but the last 800 i had my leg over had the indicator switchgear all on the one side.

Standard switch gear on this one, although i have added a Wunderlich Indicator Reset Lever. Helps a bit.

Nice, and the tool tube looks cool in that position, how did you fix it to the lower bar?

 

[thumper]

Thanks, it was quiet easy to fit as it came with these fittings.

Please can you post a link to the tool tube?

Is there any way to fashion a lock for it?

Cheers

I think Thumper is using the BMW rack fitting kit... if you don't have this have a look here....

I bought the tube from eBay, not sure about a lock though. It` fitted to the lower bar for the BMW luggage system.
