However, you certainly do earn immediate appreciation and good will when you go the extra mile and post great photos.

We're rooting for you and Rex!

For all of you who ordered the Arctic Silver... I must say that the bike is stunning in that color. Congrats to all!

That's great. Please post lots of Rex photos after the bike arrives. Always remember, copious photos earn bonus points.

I'm excited for you! Maybe with a little luck, you'll have it in time for the weekend! Fingers crossed!

Installed a GPS

I broke the 'Good Idea Cut-Off Point" rule...Don't make any mods to the bike just prior to a trip. Tomorrow I launch for a short trip to the HU meeting in Virginia. Today I mounted a GPS. What could possibly go wrong...

Lots of folks like RAM mounts, I hate them. Thus I'm stuck making my own. I start out with some scrap aluminum and fab up some 10mm spacers:These allow me to mount a plate above the handlebar mount:

Then I need a bracket for the GPS. I have had terrible luck in guessing the exact angle to mount the GPS so I can read it under way so this time I'm making it adjustable for angle.
I also mount anti-vibration pads (3mmX15 from www.quadrocopter.com) because I have had problems with high frequency vibration killing the electrical contacts between the mount and the GPS.

with it all bolted up there is still room for the ignition key.

Now to see if this rig survives real world use, wish me luck!

Peter Y.

You did a beautiful job, Peter. That mount is so robust, I doubt you will have any problems with it.

Please take lots of photographs at the Horizon's Unlimited meeting, and post a ride report after you return.
