Can you give me a link?

Its a Touratech flyscreen.
expensive but classy about �90.00

It works well for me (about 5ft 10") plus with an Arai Tour x 2 it stope the peak vibrating.

Very good quality- no rust on the clamp or nuts and bolts.

goto www.touratech.co.uk

Yes its a GIVI sat nav bag-very good and works well meaning you can buy a car type sat nav and keep it secired and weatherproof.

The sat nav is a Garmin Nuvi 265W �150 from Halfords. Its bluetooth for phone or if you have a blue tooth earpiece or enabled helmet so you can get the voice directions.

It also has traffic management and will detour you round traffic jams plus its got full European mapping and has a SD card slot for viewing pictures and I believe you can buy OS maps on SD card and play these through the Garmin and use for off road(not checked this though yet).

Thanks for posting that up, what was your average daily mileage? I'm miffed I missed the first posting of your route, as I would've come to visit you at Brecon.

Average daily mileage was about 320 miles.

Sorry you missed the original post as it would have been nice to meet you in Brecon or elsewhere in Wales.

Might see you in the Lakes on GULG camping weekend in July?

Brilliant thanks for the great pictures! I have just bought the same Givi satnav bag but find it twists round so the screen is vertical. Did yours do this and if so how did you fix it, or does the bars/tank arrangement on the Z stop it happening compared to my X?
Cheers,
Selina

Thanks. Glad you enjoyed the piccies!

No,did not get this problem. I fixed mine on the Z by fitting the velcro straps each side wound tight around the cross bar and then down and around the upper fork stantions and back again but pulling tight all the while. Not sure if the handlebars are the same on the X? occasionally it did move slightly but I found this helped to see the nav screen by altering the angle from the sun glare.

Yes mate, should be there for that, body permitting.
