Top Ten Mods & Accessories

[Montblanc]

Here is my summary of mods and ratings:

MRA screen                4/5   Still needs a bit of tweaking on the angle. Better than the original screen.
Garmin 340 Sat Nav    5/5   Wouldn't leave home without it
Bagster seat               4/5   A bit better than original seat. Passenger seat much better than original, hence the 4/5
Michelin PR 4's            5/5   Second set. Works well for the bike. The last set did just over 10k miles
29L luggage                5/5   Bought second hand. Essential for travel. Waterproof. Versatile - use top box only in town
Leo Vince Carbon         5/5   Lighter muffler, much better sound, looks better


Once I have heated grips and wind deflectors the set-up will be complete.

[Ranger 600]

Mk1 2006.

Bar raisers ,Fleabay £20 approx
Large touring screen £70 approx
Screen adjustable brackets, Fleabay £60

Adjustable brackets and large touring screen invaluable (only problem is in heavy rain it comes under screen and blows directly onto visor.

Hi Ranger,

Have you got a link for the bar risers please. Cannot find them on Ebay. Take it you did not have problems with the cables etc? Is it a worthwhile modification?
