Lol!! :D

Thanks for all the replies guys. Plenty of things to try there before I shell out any more money!

As a matter of interest, does anyone have a pic of their bike with one of the Sat Nav/ Mobile holders fitted?

My speedo works but, reads about twice the speed I'm travelling and jumps. Is there a way to correct the speedo?

You're lucky - he already had my speedo (original Spanish) when comms went dead! Nearly six months since it was delivered

These speedos are very easy to dissemble, rebuild and adjust. It already does not work correctly, just take it apart, clean/oil the drive and adjust the needle drag ring (not sure of the proper name for it but that's what it does). More gap = less drag= higher needle reading.
