More goodies for a long-haul

When I bought the BMW this spring it came with a Magellen GPS half-ass mounted to the dash....which was clipped to a socket type slot and it was ALWAYS hanging to one side or the other

I hated that crap....but didn't have the dough for a new GPS.

Well I scored a decent used Garmin 450 from fleabay but NOW I needed to mount it. I HAD mounted my ipod to the mirror mounts on my grips using one of these:

...and that worked OK... but it was sort of in the way

So I found the BMR accessory shelf and got the GPS mount to go with it

Whoo hooo!! everything is out of the way now, and in it's place

Also ordered some Police bike light mount brackets and got some inexpensive driving/fog lights for deer spotting while I had the dash all tore appart.

Now I can spot those bastards hiding on the sides of the road

But now....couple the lights with the Police bag lids (see this pic for difference in standard and police lids) if I wear all black everyone slows to a crawl when I pull up behind them
