New camera, stunning day for a lunch ride. Figured I'd share a couple of customizations made this winter.

I wanted a place for a water bottle and came across this:

Top notch construction, I even went and bought a second, so I can have a drink and fuel or even just 2 fuel bottles. Out of the way for me, probably be a problem for a passenger. Rock solid, never moves a millimeter.

And some work on the dash. Finally snagged a dual heat controller and bought a new wireless Ipod remote, so that of course required a new mount fab job.

The mounting bar is my work, simple aluminum channel with the ends folded down and drilled to match the existing windscreen screws. Bolted to that is a RAM ball and a mount unit I purchased, I think from GPS city, specifically for my model Garmin.
 
Since we're posting dash views.... :D

Garmin 665 with XM on left, behind the Garmin is the Powerlet wireless controller for the heated gear. On the bar attached to the clutch clamp is the volume control for the Clearwater lights. On the handgrip is the push to talk button for the bike to bike radio.

The right side has the tpx radar detector and the XM/Sirius antenna.

All running through an Autocom Super Pro Automatic. In the tail is a Kenwood radio with battery eliminator for bike to bike.

Front view shows the Clearwater aux. lights and the Hella Dual Tone horns. The horns are a BIG improvement over the stock scooter horn.
