Quality Time

Finally able to take seven days off work and spend some quality time with my ride.

.

I will be spending a lot of time on sealed surfaces in the coming month, so I went for a tire change. After a lot of research I bought the Continental ‘Trail Attack’. TKC80 will have to go on my second set of wheels for now. First impressions with the tyres are excellent. Very stable, especially on the front at speed of 120km onwards. I have only done a very small amount of gravel road on my last ride but so far so good.


I also spent some time to install most of the nice farkles I was able to buy while I was working away.


Wonderful world online....... makes it easy to spend all the money you make!

 
 

 
  I started up with removing some panels to allow for easy installation.

The two pictures below show the mounting of the Touratech cradle plate onto the Wunderlich solid handlebar plate, which gives you some mounting options trough threaded holes. Note that the plate is mounted on an angle to bring the GPS in a better viewing position.

 

 

 The next picture shows the finished installation.
Note the rubber grommets for reduced vibration.

Also the lock to add a bid of security against the grab and run membersof our society!

There is a little work involved to install but well worth it I think.

 

Garmin Zumo 660 from a different perspective. The Zumo is the first motorcycle GPS I ever bought.

A great unit easy to operate and very versatile (Car setting bike setting and a walk setting also in case your car breaks down!!).
I have used excellent GPS units on boats before but this is the simplest unit so far.

 

 

 

‘Wunderlich’ driving lights and LED ‘P’ markers for better visibility. (The markers stay on when the driving lights are turned off). The driving lights are a little tricky to assemble but the step by step instructions are easy to follow, including the electrical part of things. I have tried the lights at night and they are definitely helping

to keep the edge of the road well illuminated.

Touratech brake reservoir cover, not cheap but nice.

Wunderlich switch for driving lights. (Next to mirror stem)

HD- Hero clipped on in waterproof housing. Great little camera!

Barkbusters mounted. And a few pictures from my ride.
