GPS MOVE
#4
Only yesterday on a ride I noted to myself how perfect the location of the GPS was due to installation on the Vortex. Another benefit not [often] mentioned is the ease of readability for those of us with bifocals. So natural to glance slightly down to a display that is somewhat closer especially when the windscreen is in the upper position.

Yes, it was probably the most expensive [and heaviest] GPS relocation solution, but like Bacaruda's top box rack, it was a bespoke design, and the price was reflected in the quality. It also so well integrates with the design of the cockpit that it looks like a factory solution as opposed to the other effective but less aesthetically pleasing solutions like the Hornig bar-across-the-top design.

From what I have seen of the 2019 RS, BMW still has not addressed this design shortfall.
