I guess if you have long arms and great eye sight the extra distance is not a issue .
Thanks I'll look for those symptoms. My hand goes numb on my exercise bike at home LOL, and remember a little bit on my airhead GS, but I haven't noticed any at all on this bike.
I installed the Puig Tour+ at the same time as this relocation bracket. I'm 5'7" (and change) and found a vast improvement at the high setting of the lower screw-mounting position, and have moved it to the higher screw-mounting position for my upcoming trip to see if it's for better or worse. It looks like I will still be able to see over it in the high setting. Hoping it works out to something like the electric screen on my old RT gave me in the cold or rain.
I have been watching YouTube videos and hardly anyone has good centering of the navigation units with the TFT. Even the BMW bikes that come with the cradle up in the windshield look out of alignment, because of the weird offset caused by the GPS prep mount. At least this Harnig bracket gives us 1250RS riders perfect centering capability with a variety of Nav units including the slightly larger BMW one I have. That would drive me nuts.
