    Upgrades so far.

    Some of the accessories that I added to the NT.
    1/ Sat nav mount for a Garmin XT.
    2/ INNOVV K2 Camera system.
    3/ Ali Express Radiator guard.
    4/ Powerbronze Rear mudguard extension.
    5/ Powerbronze front mudguard extension.
    6/ Powerbronze Headlamp guards.

    The Sat nav mount is from Ali Express and was purchased a while back to fit a BMW 1150RT. It never worked very well on the BMW but with a bit of tweaking in a vice to match the shape of the NT dash cover it seems to work very well. I ran the wiring back to the rear of the bike where I will connect it to a Thunder Box along with other accessories.

    The K2 camera system I have had for a few years and it has changed from bike to bike. The cameras were fitted with 3mself adhesive pads backed up by a self tapping screw at the front and a small bolt at the rear.  I did remove the off side faring to run the cables. This is fairly easy once you get the hang of Honda push pins and tabs. When refitting some silicon spray can assist.

    The rad guard was fitted easily. I see some people have had issues with Ali Express items but this fitted with no modifications.

    The front and rear mudguard extension were straight forward to fit but I did remove the front mudguard as it is easier to fit off the bike.   

    Also The headlamp guards a must in my opinion are easy to fit.

    I think that's the best place to mount the navigation. It's perfect in your visual field. But is it stable enough? I did it the same way on my crosstourer(VFR1200X) but it moves a lot.

    Where did you buy your pyramid hugger? Is the connection on USB port watertight?

    I have had no issues in rain with the USB connection. However I do not like the lag in the maps loading or the fact that if you stop the maps do not always loa, hence the Garmin XT.

    You can order direct from Pyramid Plastics. They do international delivery.

    Ich würde sagen das der USB Anschluss zu 99% Wasserdicht ist, die Frage ist halt ob der "Dongle" ebenfalls wasserdicht ist ? Hatte bisher keine Probleme, bin allerdings noch nicht bei starkem Regen gefahren. Ich nutze mit Apple Car Play die Navi Apps "Sygic" "TomTom" und evtl. "Google Maps" !! Bin mit der "nicht Kabel Lösung" sehr zufrieden, habe allerdings schon mitbekommen das es bei Android Auto nicht so gut funktioniert !!

    I have not tried Apple Car play only the Android Auto. A friend with a Goldwing things the Apple Car Play is more stable. Perhaps if I had an I phone it would have worked better and I would not have fitted the Garmin XT. However I am very pleased with the Garmin. It seems very stable in the central position and does not move about very much.

    Fitted the Thunderbox this afternoon. What a good bit of kit. Just wire to the battery and it does not require a switched live feed to work. However without the switched live the engine must be running for accessories wired to the Thunderbox to work. It really is simple and only takes a few minutes to fit. I did run a switched live from the rear light. The brown wire is live with the ignition on so just tap into that.

    Habe wieder etwas gebastelt ... es kam noch eine lautere Hupe und ein Scottoiler hinzu !! Bestellt habe ich mir noch bei MRA eine etwas höhere Scheibe incl. Spoiler (https://www.mrashop.de/modellbezogene-produkte/honda/nt-1100/bj-22/7512/nt-1100-variotouringscreen-vtm-2022?number=I4025066172740)

    Do you have some more pictures about your scottoiler installation? The place where you fix him on the bike and so on. I'm thinking about the installation off a healtech thunderbox to connect my GPS(XT) my heated gloves and the scottoiler. The thunderbox because I can not find any accessory connector on the NT. Thanks
