I have a 12" aftermarket from Cee Bailey's...ive used their products in the past and have had great results. I'm 6' also and look over the windshield easily. If you are riding with a seat cushion or with beads you could probably go as high as their 15" model. you can feel the wind but you dont get knocked around at all. http://www.ceebaileys.com/yamaha/royalstarventurews.html [ATTACH]49864[/ATTACH]

I live in southern california as well...Southwest Riverside County

I have considered that...i think i'll buy a replacement one first...so when i hit it the first time and break it i can put the new one back on!

its not the free play im looking to adjust, more the distance from the grip...I rode that BMWs for four years and put about 120K on them and i grew accustomed to not having to reach much for my front brake lever. I was thinking about the fabrication side of things...but the price just might make me get over it this little annoyance very quickly. Thanks for the ideas...if i find the right aftermarket one, ill post it on here to let everyone else know.

Quick question, I used to ride a BMW RT1200P and was spoiled by the adjustable brake/clutch levers. Im 6'00 and can reach the brake lever on my 04 BUT...does anyone know of a lever that reduces the reach a little bit. I've looked through the threads and only saw new levers mentioned based on appearance (chrome or flat blade). Thanks for any help. Clint:Venture:

well, i decided on a nuvi 765t. I almost took the plunge for the zumo 660 but since this is my first unit,i figured i better start slow...thanks to everyone for the input!

i live 50 miles from work one way, and i ride most of the time. So yes, the phone calls would be nice. Thanks for that.

Thanks to everyone who is replying...I also find myself having a real hard time paying so much for a motorcycle specific unit. I do appreciate the input from everyone and I know this thread will help some other people out as well. Im going shopping today, Ill get back to everyone when i bring one home.

Alrighty everyone...been lurking for about a year in the forums...in the past week ive been all over the GPS forums but im just confusing myself more...so please help me out a little here... I am looking for a GPS for my 04 RSMV, This will be my first GPS purchase so i am relying on the experiences of everyone here. I ride a lot, 20k to 25k a year, but i mainly stay local. I am going to start my longer trips this fall though (Oklahoma is first) and need a reliable unit to guide me along the way. I mainly use my Ipod for music, so the MP3 player may be a good idea, my wife rides with me so i need one that wont effect the intercom either. Ive looked at a re-furbished Streetpilot 2730, a nuvi 7xx series, and a few zumo's (550/650). Please post yoru experiences with your GPS' models, how you mount it, how you waterproof it (bag, drybox, unit itself), how the screen looks in the sunlight, and any other info you would like to share. Also, for the "non-motorcycle" model users (Nuvi), do you think the vibration of the bike causes the problems that have been previously discussed on the forum?
