@drey2112 Thank you for your review. and I'm the same as you..modern classic....Truimph Thruxton R and don't want my phone on the bars.

I got a good deal on eBay for a beeline moto (not the 2) and it just arrived. Looks a neat little device..will give it a try later in the week.

Same bike as me!

I can't help with the nav devices though, I just follow signposts when I'm riding. Getting a bit lost is part of the experience.

@NickD lets see a pic of the bike please and you are right about the getting lost but when I'm lost and time is getting the better of me I need a plan b

This is mine...

@Denimhead-0 Lookin jacked bro! What kind of helmet is that? Looks a lot like my Daytona Cruiser. I LOVE a quick-release ratchet strap. I cant stand the regular double D buckle.

@WhiskeySandwich

Custom Destruction, I think it’s essentially a Daytona. Not the safest, but very comfy, great vision and no bubble head.

WhiskeySandwich

@Denimhead-0 Daytona's are slim and DOT approved, but agree, 3/4 helmets in general aren't the safest...neither are motorcycles for that matter...but thats why Safety is rule #3. I'll check out those helmets, looks a little nicer.

Best worst financial decision I’ve ever made.

In the first two weeks:
Carb rebuild
Front brake rebuild
Headlight harness
Plug wires
Petcock
Foot pegs
Handlebars
Carb cover
Throttle tube
Push/pull cables

All before I found an intake manifold leak.

Woohoo!

@GTPowers badass shovel! What year? Looks alot like my bro's but like 10X nicer than his lol

@bryaneidins70 you got a looker right there!!

GTPowers

@WhiskeySandwich don’t look too close! It’s a ‘75 FX. If we’re honest, most of these repairs aren’t crazy and some are just preferential.

WhiskeySandwich

@GTPowers well, most old bikes look best from about 10’ away. Especially ones people actually ride. Who wants a trailer queen anyway

@bryaneidins70 I’ll post one when I can (just had back surgery so can’t move the bike at the moment).

It’s a slight different setup to yours, I run it with a twin seat and riser bars (not the standard ones, a few inches higher), although I still have the single seat and fairing.
