Bought sponge grips for my first motorcycle 30 years ago. Absolutely love and recommend them. I use a Ram mount for my phone and can recommend that also. It comes with a rubber strap as a secondary support to secure the phone. USE IT! A bumpy road can and will shake the phone free otherwise. I was 300 miles from home when I found myself with a broken phone.

Have you tried the throttle rocker? It's a small plastic spade that binds to the throttle with velcro. Instead of having to grip the throttle with your whole hand, you can nudge it down and hold it with the end of your palm. It is very relaxing for the right hand not to have to grip the throttle. I find these so useful that I even have one on a bike with cruise control.

Very interesting review and somewhat interesting to find that the rip-off merchants will charge up to £30 more on EBay for the Invoxia Bike Tracker! I thought that I was quite security savvy, but your comment about disc-locking the front wheel instead of the rear, makes so much sense, although I tend to see it more easily (that's my excuse!)That said; the Locking Wheel Nut Caps... where do I find them, please? I've looked everywhere (even Google!) and apart from brand-specific wheel nuts, or caps to protect the car locking wheel nuts, I've found nothing...

Sounds like the standard model I use then. My batteries last about 2-3 months. I’ll check out your mini version👍

@@RocketMan_Moto My Cat says 'forget it, you ain't sticking that thing around my neck'........Seriously though, although these products haven't got the same tracking capability many a more expense systems have they are perfectly adequate, unless you're absolutely paranoid about theft.

Grip puppies were useless. They made the grip faaar to thick, especially if you have small hands, and when they got wet the clutch side would slip. I bought them for my s1000r to try and avoid removing the stock heated grips.

Can’t say I’ve experienced this, but then again it rarely rains down here😊

1,) Yes very good. 2,) I so dissagree, You want the stock horns, The high pitch will cut through other sound not that low sound. Second the db is the same on the denali as a stock horn. 3,)Yes nice but remeber the company sell you location info as well if you have been speeding. 4,)No, NO, NO, get the quad lock. 5,) It come right off with a hammer. 6,) YES!!! 7,)No don't do this if you live in earthquake area. Remeber people there's a price to pay for all that stuff, it's called weight, it can add up.

You could have used a hockey puck for the side stand;-)

Could do, but they're a bit difficult to find here in Portugal. No ice, you see :)

Put an apple logo on your side stand block makes it look like an Apple TV and more posh

Love it😂😂😂

As for the rubber block… My BMW R1200R is so upright on the side stand, it really scares me. I nearly always put it on the center stand as I feel a warm breeze could tip it over…

Always a good idea, if you have a centre stand. I prefer to use it on my scooter, too :)

I hawe a ishockey puk bolted on my kickstand foot.

Me too I planned to buy GT this year but with that damn virus that is killing our economy, I’m not sure that I’ll get it this year. I never thought that I would ever be interested in a Triumph bike. And wow! I should put that Deneli horn on my Yamaha Raider 1900. It’s a perfect bike except the horns which are shit.

All bike horns are embarrassing. I put the Denali on all of them. Keep safe :)

J'ajouterais un clip que l'on pose sur la poignée d'accélérateur qui permet d'agir avec la paume de la main, ce qui très relaxant. J'ai ça sur toutes mes motos, même celle équipée d'un régulateur.

Your bike has a Portuguese license plate, are you Portuguese or live in Portugal? Your English sounds too good for a Portuguese fellow :) I’m just curious...
