Need a new pair of boots for my lady and am looking at pr4. Has anyone tried them yet, I know there won't be many with high mileage since they are new but wondering about handling etc. Have metzlers on ATM since have only got her last month and they were on it but are flat spotting slightly.
Cheers

Thanks guys. Been doing some homework on them and they seem to get great reviews across the board. Heading for our yearly euro jaunt in May and after a rough one last year on the razor blade that is a stock r1200gs seat I don't want to risk not having something with me. Bought a sergeant seat when I came home then decided I wanted to change the bike so will be sticking it on fleabay.
Thanks again chaps,
Ski.

Hi all,
I tried searching the forum for the answer but could find a post to help. Might be there but I couldn't see it. Anyway,
What size airhawk suits the gtr? And is there really a big jump in quality between the neoprene and the cheaper version?
Thanks in advance for any help and apologies if I'm going over old ground.

Thanks all for your valuable guidance. Got it sorted so can now find my way home from the shop now ;)
Thanks again

as the satnav only pulls a couple of amps you can wire it in most places.hs it got its own inline fuse ? If you are able to use one of those scotchblock connectors then just take a feed from the front side light wire and then use the bike frame somewhere for the ground wire. You can access the wire easily without taking stuff off. keep your cables neat and tidy with small cable ties and leave some slack to allow for the sterring lock left to right.
I solder and heatshrink all my connections but you can use a scotchbloc

buy using a switched item you wont leave the satnav on and flat the battery. never been keen on wiring things straight to the battery unless done correctly via a relay, but thats a bit more advanced for some diyers, good luck and Pm me if you need any clarification

Thanks viper, and thanks for the vid. I have a few of those from my GS days. Haven't looked too closely at lights but will give it a go. The sat nav cable is very light gauge though so hopefully the side light cable is the same. Which colour is the "live" on the lights or is it self evident. Am at work so can't check at the min.
Thanks again

Hi all,
I am keen to attempt to wire in my tomtom rider 3. Anyone any experience of wiring any nav unit NOT using the cig lighter outlet? Want to keep it free for other odds and sods. Is there an easy connection up round the cockpit / clocks area rather than running back to the battery?
Any help esp photos much appreciated.

hi all,
have just purchased a Givi V46 top box from fleabay. it came with a universal mounting plate but on researching (google images etc) i see some photos of a bracket in addition to the standard mounting plate which is already on the GTR. is it necessary to use this extra mounting bracket (i think its a SR410) or can i just mount the givi mounting plate directly to the existing standard plate already on the bike?
any advice much appreciated.
