Vision Mods from Across the Pond

Part 5: GPS MOUNT & POWER

I rarely travel far from home on two wheels (nowhere in UK is far from home anyhow) so a full-time GPS on the Vision seems pointless. However, I planned a three-hour trip to visit a friend so I thought I'd try and mount my Garmin Nuvi from the car. I reckoned the suction mount wouldn't work well on the brushed aluminum switch panel so I cut a disc of 3M stonechip film and stuck that on first (you can just see it's outline in the picture below). Bingo, a strong and secure fixing.


The lead runs nicely under the small compartment lid and into the power adapter I made.



As you can see, I've tackled a few of the things on my improvements list. As I do more I'll keep you all informed of my progress.
