Even if you don’t buy mine - TFT thieving!

I eventually remembered where I read the piece about using some of the TFT electrical components, not the TFT itself, it was in the comments section of a certain video about fitting the TFT protector. The thieving scrotes will stop at nothing, a bit like cutting out the easy to access catalytic converters from certain cars and getting £20 scrap value for the few grams of Rhodium, Platinum, and Palladium.

With all due respect Micko you read it somewhere off someone else’s post, if people want to buy a piece of kit fair enough I’m just questioning actual need based on events
The opportunistic bit I referred to would be finding a TFT that's unprotected they can quickly remove then be on their toes with little chance of being caught, rather than stealing it without first knowing if it was possible to move it on afterwards.
Mine arrived yesterday morning and was fitted to my GSA in the afternoon
Fairly straightforward job but found it a lot easier after I removed the windscreen

Fitted the anti theft device to my GS 1250 yesterday.
Straight forward job, but as said before a lot easier if you remove the screen
Nice piece of kit

Mine is also now fitted, pretty neat, but the adhesive foam strip could have been more generous. I fitted mine without removing the screen and it a fair faff trying to hold it against the TFT while nipping up the bolt, ideally I should have had an assistant to gently hold it down.
I don't know if it is mentioned, but I recall reading someone saying theirs came with hex head bolts, I was please to find torx ones in my kit.
Otherwise looks neat, and even it it wasn't anti-theft does a good job on the farkling and protection front.

Thought the same about the foam, even when it had been spliced in half as per instructions, so I used some telsa tape for the short sides.
I'd also advise folks to have a check that the finish is okay before fitting, as I noticed afterwards that mine had a small imperfection (pimple) put a light scratch on one side, which most definitely was not caused by me in the fitting.
I didn't find any need to remove the windshield but I think this more in the case of the GSA?

Send it back.. They are not cheap and should be right...
Do you have the Cymarc screen strengtheners, does it still fit as it looks like it uses the same bolts?
Mine arrived today, fitted within 30mins (including drinking a bottle of Cider in admiration of a damn fine product)
As for the screen strengthening items, I’ll let you know as soon as mine arrive, although a mate from work has both fitted he hasn’t mention any changing of bolts.
Keep up the awesome work Cymarc

Mine arrived today as well 
ordered from Chainspeed as Cymarc & NN were out of stock.
Had next day delivery so I’ll fit mine on Monday as working

Further to post #71
I’ve found that my Givi wind screen brace kit clashes with fit up of the tft screen security bracket.
Thinking of changing my wind screen anyway, but note that several screens on the market come with their own brace kit. I’m guessing Cymarc’s own brace is ok but don’t want to potentially buy the same thing twice if I change screen.
Has anybody fitted the security bracket with a windscreen brace without a clash?
Thanks in anticipation.

That should be post 72. Must try harder 1/10 for effort.
I fitted mine this morning and discovered the Cymarc screen braces clashed with the aluminium screen cross bar as it was lowered. I’ve got them just about clearing now with a bit of “tweaking” so I can now lower the screen to its usual low position (short arse + Puig touring screen).
