A mini-Zumo adventure

I've got the Zumo 550 installed! Due to my absolute technical incompetence it took about 3 hours when it should have taken half an hour. I'd wired a switched auxiliary supply last year which has slowly stopped working and I think it's because the negative wire has essentially decomposed. This probably explains why the heated grips no longer work. (My cigarette lighter point is full of copper rust as well - maybe water got in and shorted it?)

Since I had the side panels and false fuel tank off I decided to find a new place to connect a new negative line - and found a nice little unused bolt hole. It was only after I'd put nearly everything back together that I then realised that this hole was for the false fuel tank :-( Since I couldn't be bothered to take everything apart again I just left it - so that's another bit of the bike not connected properly - but it didn't fall off so we'll just have to see!

Here's a piccie of the Zumo...





I should really get a different installation kit so that I could centre it above the dash area but it's not too bad there.

So today was my first test of the Zumo... I planned a route on MapSource at home, downloaded to the device, and set off. 150 miles later and no wrong turns I'm very impressed with it. Here's a couple of more piccies from the trip...
