This weekend I added my old TomTom Rider to the bars. The HD app is getting better but I have so many addresses in the TomTom and the 3D directional view is so much easier to watch.
I ran the cable under the plastic tank cowling - just 2 screws to take it off - and rigged up a plug to connect to one of the heating sockets. Very simple.
I used a Ram mount with a 1" ball and a bolt from the Quad kit they do. Same thread as the bar bolts. I'll see how it goes because it's a bit low and will take my eyes off the road. Maybe should be more at eye height.
I left enough wire to move it around to attach to the clutch bolts if necessary.

And it works ! I set up a copy of the basic ride mode and chose the Comfort setting for the suspension. Hasn't dropped yet.
I'll set up another for the Sport mode to see if that follows too.
You can also force it into preload setting you want instead of letting it sense and decide. I'm glad others are having the same luck I've had with the custom suspension setups.

Does it obscure the instrument screen at all?

Booked my 1k service and installed my ride bell, I’ve got a nice little trip to Ypres for the Remembrance Ceremony next month so looking forward to that although jumping through the COVID travel requirements is a bit of a pain.

Where'd you hang the ride bell?

I used a cable tie and hooked it between 2 slots in the middle of the standard sump guard on the PAS.

I used the original leather strip, I could remove it quickly when I wash the bike. With the side stand in ride position, you can simply hang it in.

I installed IliumWorks highway pegs (p/n 32-100BL). Based on where I mounted the pegs I also needed to use the optional sleeve (p/n 19-XXX).

I also installed the Pyramid front fender extender (p/n 058620).

I also have the Pyramid rear fender extender (p/n 078620) but I have not installed it yet.
