Thanks
Been preparing for my next trip.
I decided to change the GPS and phone wiring -in essence, I want less wires but also redundancy.
Ordered RAM's wireless charger. They have the X-clamp version too but I've been getting quite annoyed by the way my current X-clamp would press the buttons on the side of my phone. So decided to try another option. Will see how it handles the phone in landscape mode..
Its a bit heavy though.. specs state 300g but maybe that includes all wires and such.
So although its much handier, it does weight substantially more than my current old-school X-mount.
But anyway, going this route means I wont need dedicated USB-A and C wires anymore.
I like the cleaner look of the tower already
I've mounted a redundant USB plug on the side of the tower, visible on the bottom left, in the above picture
One 20watt and redundant 15watt USB supplies:
While I had the tower removed, I thought I'd see how much it weighs, vs the stock unit.
540g:
vs 1900g:
This includes the tower mounting brackets, screen mountings, fuse box, GPS mounts and all wiring

Finally got me a semi-decent crimp tool
..and decided to tidy up some wires behind the 'dash'
Man, it was pleasing being able to crimp the wires so effortlessly O0
The connector for the indicator unit:

Turns out my current lower fork guards will also not fit these cone valve forks
Picked me up a set of 2015 yellow fork guards from a local KTM shop. Naturally, I had to bling them out a bit:
Will mount the wheel on Monday, once I have the new axle + spacers.
In the meantime, I'm trying to arrange for a B&B that will allow me to stash my vehicle with them for a week.
The current plan is PCR test on the 15th -> trailer to south of France on 15th/16th -> start bike trip from 17 to 22'ish -> return to NL 23rd

Found 1cm lower and wider pegs, while visiting KTM
I couldn't resist.
