I ride to escape the connection to the web not to enhance it....

It is the large RAM suction cup. I wasn't sure if it would hold on the curve of the screen but it does, at least in the dry.

I believe you can get RAM mounts for the mirror mount too, has anyone tried this? For me the device has to be up there, I was tempted to fit the suction cup to the tank but it's a nightmare to try and look at it when you're moving.

I'm wondering if anyone is using a winshield bolt or mirror bolt on the inside of the fairing to pick up a mounting point maybe?
My last bike had a tube brace inside the nosecone which was handy. I just used one of these silicone stretchy boys. Just chuck it in my pocket when i parked the bike. Was actually pretty good.

I've a alloy tube section that slides into the recess of the left bar, secured with a slightly longer "Allen" bolt. It's sized to the standard bar size 7/8 (22mm) so fits all the commonly made bar attachments (Ram, Ball etc). Although it looks to be obtrusive and may get in the way, it doesn't and I've had everything from a clock to TomTom attached to it, even on full left lock it didn't foul the faring..

Thought the forks were really low but now I see it's the clipons that are raised. :D
