Pics will follow soon, been too busy running her in, 2500 miles on the clock now.
She was brand , no miles, shiny , free goodies from Honda new.
Now fabricated a sat nav mount, that fits into the redundant mirror mount on the clutch lever mounting, as my old Navman has been replaced with a new one, so this made the old one available for the bike, and if it dies well there you go.
Works well, power from the fitted outlet to the unit, and runs into headset in helmet for easy instructions, so if it is wet, it can be bagged up and still works fine.
AuNTy is in the shed to have some TLC

Only in the good weather, old AuNTy has put 1100 on since the start of the year as well, only the snow stpped the bikes going out.
I feel that if we got to pay for the road tax, insurance, mot etc, then get the most you can out of it.
I try to do the same with the car, I reckon that if they want £400 road tax for it, then I will wear out as much road as I can, then kick up when they won't spend it on £400 worth of tarmac to fill the potholes up.

Well, I'm delighted to confirm my status! The mighty Pan European is my current ride. Dropped her off yesterday for a new back tyre and MOT, picked her up today and rode the long way home - what joy after nearly 3 months rest. It's very windy in North East England, but aside from that, brilliant conditions. The NTV project is no further forward, but beckons every time I go in the garage (too much on at present). Plus two classic BMW Boxers, again in pieces as long term restoration projects. All Shafties and renowned for reliability, build quality etc etc. The Mighty Pan One of the Boxers (the other came as a box of bits) The NTV Project - still in the early days

Here she is soon to be here, just got to figure out how to get the pics on here. Hints would be appreciated. ;D ;D The addition on the clutch lever mount is a satnav holder that my mate made up one evening on his lathe, soon to follow is a head so that I can swap it for a camera or video recorder.
