Why so serious, son?
Over the last week I have been making progress as far as making the bike 'mine.' So far I've swapped the TT widnshield mount for a Madstad, added an FZ-1 Fuzeblocks jobber to power stuff I've added to the bike like the LED aux lights, additional power outlet below the seat lock, harness for my heated clothing, grips, and the heated Corbin (that came with the bike), and the Stebel Nautilus horn. I removed the TT bar risers, cut off the sidestand lever that was directly in the way of shifting, and did nothing for deploying the stand, and added aftermarket winglets all with good results. Today I added an LED brake light bar on the plate as well as a pair of flashing brake light LED modules to each side, a rear rack from Nomadix Cycle Racks, and my all-time favorite bargain trunk from Bestem, with an LED running light. Other minor changes I've made include machined aluminum adjustable levers and mirror extenders, and Grab-On grip cover thingies. Oh, and I added the decal kit tha tthe PO was gracious to throw in for me (I've shown those before). Coming soon: panniers, Laam seat, auxiliary fuel cell, carbon fiber heat shield and an aftermarket pipe. Getting there...

Installed my new Puig touring screen and went for a test ride. Picked the lad up from school and let him have the GoPro on his lid.

Since bringing my "new to me" '15 Tenere home yesterday, I have:
- Installed my Givi SRA2101 rear rack
- Installed my Givi 42L Outback Tail Trunk
- Installed and wired a Powerlet socket (for my battery tender, etc)
- Installed and wired my Garmin Zumo GPS
- Changed the engine oil and filter
- Took care of my title and registration and installed my license plate
- Stood and stared at it for hours, admiring how good it looks!

If this doesn't work, try changing your helmet. May sound crazy, but worked for me several times. One time I had two bikes and had to use separate helmets for each just to avoid wind noise and turbulence. Mix them up and it was unbearable!dietDrThunder said:I continued my battle against noise and turbulence today by installing my newly-purchased PowerBronze short sport screen. I haven't ridden it yet, but I am hopeful.

I am interested in that mount you are using, specifically the bit that extends forward.EVLED said:Fitted a mount for the GoPro below my crash bars.

It's a very cheap bicycle mount that I got from China...I made a rubber insert from an old radiator hose to help it clamp down onto the bars.WJBertrand said:

Today I 'sorted' out my intermittently working fog lights after tracing the problem to a duff switch. New switch ordered and the old one bypassed, jobs a good un.

Today I installed the cradle and wiring for my Garmin Zumo 660. I wired it direct to the battery so it will stay on when I stop for gas. I used the RAM bracket and U-bolt that came with it, torqued the U-bolt to 50 inch pounds as directed and it put a slight crimp in my accessory bar ( I guess it would be more appropriate to call it an accessory pipe). Oh well, it's mounted, and the crimp will prevent the bracket from rotating around the pipe. The battery ends of the wiring loom were just dead end bare wire, so I had to find some ring terminals small enough to crimp on the light gauge wire. Unfortunately the rings were too small for the battery bolt to go through, so I had to ream them out with a drill and a file. It's all good now, though, everything works as I want it to, and I did a very neat job of wiring, if I do say so myself!
It's my first GPS and my first time wiring one up, I'm just a little proud of myself right now. Let's hope I don't wind up on Youtube in flames.

Hopefully no dead batteries in your future. Even wired to a switched source like it should be, the 660 will ask you if you want it to shut off or not.BadNews said:Today I installed the cradle and wiring for my Garmin Zumo 660.

Yep, I hear ya. I don't know the current draw on this thing, but if it will run for 5 hours on the small internal battery, it can't be much. And if I stop for more than gas I'll likely take it off the cradle and lock it up.Don in Lodi said:
I have a Garmin 390LM, and pretty sure the 660 is the same. When power is cut from the bike (switched line), it asks you if you want to shut it off. If you just ignore it, it goes into a "sleep" mode. The internal battery keeps everything you have "on". When you turn the bike back on, the Garmin puts the display back on and all you have to do is hit the "display map". Everything is still the same, your route/directions still going, until you stop it yourself. Done that many times up to several hours. In order for the Garmin to truly shut off, either the switch at the top, or when power is lost it asks you.BadNews said:Today I installed the cradle and wiring for my Garmin Zumo 660.

My 660 just turns off after a number of seconds. Didn't realize it goes to sleep? It does come back to the last route that was active though.HeliMark said:

My zumo goes to sleep if in the car cradle but shuts off in the MC cradle.
Like a computer. It just goes to a minimum power state to save the internal battery, which means the display turns off, but everything is still running in the background. When you either re-apply external power, or hit the top button, it instantly comes back on (or just turns the display back on). If it truly shut off, when you power back on, it will give you the intro screens, and you would have to restart the trip. When the power is taken off, and you answer the screen not to shut down, then it will stay on with the display.Koinz said:
