New Goodies for the R6

I make no secret of the fact I like to travel on the bike. I managed to get the R1 quite comfortable and I don't doubt the cheap little R6 can be made just as comfortable. Perhaps even more so. In standard trim I think the 2005 R6 is more comfortable than the 2010 R1. Part one of this is the clip-ons, so I ordered some Speedymoto adjustable clip-ons.

  

Speedymoto adjustable 50mm clip-ons are almost infinitely adjustable

Ergonomics isn't the only aspect to travelling. Navigation is also something that requires some consideration. On the R1 I had my Garmin Zumo 660 mounted up, I could plan routes from my office and just follow the prompts. I managed to salvage the Zumo cradle from the R1, and I replaced the damaged screen. All I need is a RAM ball mount for the R6 and the navigation is sorted.

I just have to wait until we finalise our move interstate before I can get to my tools and mount clip-ons.
