Just added a couple of things to my Silverwing.

I have a TomTom for my cage so didn't want to buy a specific one for the bike so my daughter bought me a Givi waterproof satnav holder for Xmas and have just taken it out of its package and mounted it on the handlebars. Went out for a tootle and the typical English weather, it decded to rain so it did its job Smile

I also installed my camera mount, the only place I could find to locate it was on the wing mirror arm, seems ok, once the nuts were tightened properly affraid

I tried my other full face helmet (as opposed to my Caberg flip) to see if the wind noise would reduce, no chance, get up to 60mph and its unbearable. Looks like the Givi airflow is going to be the next thing Crying or Very sad

Hey - so you also have a Caberg Justisimo helmet! I really have enjoyed ours, but the time has come to replace it. Have you found it to be a particularly noisy helmet?

I like the waterproof box for the GPS.

Hi Dale

I will be honest, both helmets are both as noisy as each other, but that could be poor screen. Even on the Diversion I wore ear plugs, so untill I get the Airflow I will have to put up with it.

Hi Paul.... I couldn't tell if your wind screen is stock or a taller one. If it is the stock one, a taller one will help, not eliminate, only help. I have the Airflow now and it sure helped me. Not perfect, but definitely big time improvement.

I like the GPS cover as well. Gonna look into that. My wife and I have the Scala Team Set that has my GPS blue toothed to the headset, so I don't have to see it, but I do like the waterproofing cover. Good addition to have.

Hi Gary

As far as I know it is a stock screen. I am not sure I would want it any taller as I don't really want to look through it.

It is more than just a satnav cover, it has other pockets too and I actually squeezed my phone in the top so I could see it, although I nave no way to answer it when I am riding.

Your screen appears to be taller than stock. One thing to look at is the model name on the front bottom. If it has Honda, I think it will be stock. If it has something else (like Givi) it is not stock. That has been my experience. Not sure that is the case every time. The Givi I had before was tons quieter than the stock. The adjustable is just as quiet for me when adjusted properly.

I found the holder online and read about the pockets. I am interested.

Thanks for your post.

It states Honda and is 20.25" high if that helps

Can you post pictures showing how you mounted the TomTom?

This will give you some idea of how this mounts. The elctrical connections are another story.
