I sort of understand the functionality, but why not strap your phone to the handlebars with Quad Lock, Sp-connect or similar? I’ve been really happy with my Sp-connect setup that has wireless charging and anti-vibration.

Brilliant few days in the Borders and Northumberland. Great weather, great roads.

I think if Android Auto on the phone hadn't been deprecated I *might* have gone that route. My current phone is the first phone I've owned that's been waterproof and for which there's a quadlock case and there's no guarantee that future phones will.

Generally I find Android Auto convenient to use, and I'd rather have a £150 bit of electronics strapped to the handlebar and my £700 phone tucked away safely.

I've just realised that I'm not going to be able to fit the Motone exhaust tips to my T120; if I do, there'll be no stop for the centre stand, use of which is non-negotiable.

It's looking like it's going to mean splashing out an the Remus end cans, which is annoying given the cost implications. I won't be able to live for very long with the peashooters, though.

Not all peashooters are the same. ;-)

Indeed, but I still don't like them. I think it's going to be Remus, Ralph... it's a look that I like and it does seem to be an option that comes well recommended.

I'm a fan of Remus and have added them to a few of my bikes over the years.
For me, the look of the Bonneville encapsulating the original styling won, although the false carbs took a bit to win me over though.
From a sound point of view the OEM pea-shooters didn't do much for me, but the V&H plus a "de-cat" X pipe sounds so much better.

Yes the sound in stock form is a bit tame.I’m pretty sure you can’t decat the Euro 5 bikes because the cat’s welded on.

That does make sense. I’m sporting a four-year-old phone with battery life that couldn’t handle a half a day’s ride without charging.
