Default GPS anyone?

Now I can ride my *** off and not get lost up in the twistys. It's the Mio C310X. If you need a GPS check this one out. It has an MP3 player too, and can be unlocked and used like any other Windows Ce 4.2 device including watching movies etc. Has s 2 GByte SD slot and a gig onboard.

I used part of the car mount, and mounted that to the front tank cover pin lock for the GPR damper. I'll grab some better pics tomorrow in daylight.

The way I did it the GPS stays in place above the tank cover and doesn't turn with the bars.

Nice! Do you know if it has a feature where you can record the route you're taking and save it to recall in the future?

Stomper grip pads, they ROCK! I got them from sprengineering.com

These are the snake skin texture and they can be removed and re-used multiple times.

Thanks. I definitely like the way those look over those goofy clear knobby ones.

might just be me, but i couldnt handle it being on the tree's like that - i would need it more angled by the cluster. I been looking at archo's for a rear-view camera and recorder but I can't see myself looking down at my tank everytime and again. I like the thinking tho Thex. Cant wait to start modding the crap out of my bike

The SPR Engineering website is pretty sparse. Did you call them to get the traction pads for your tank?
