I've never moved them until today ... they kind of felt very similar to the Gold Wings hand levers ... so they felt "comfortable". Wasn't until Thursday when I was in some decent traffic and pedestrians walking in front of me that I realized I wanted to move the levers more horizontal ... but, the rattle is gone and that made my day.

While on this trip was the first time I've used the GPS on the tri ... there were some things I didn't like, that I didn't remember on other HD's with this infotainment GPS:
1) there were a couple times between Frisco and Breckenridge that the GPS got "confused" ... the maps are the original maps from 2014 and the road has been updated and it's path changed.
2) the Harley GPS to me just seems "awkward" ... not very intuitive .. but it might just be that I'm used to the Zumo 550 HD edition.
I made a mount today that may be used to mount the Garmin Zumo on the Tri. Currently I'm using the mount I used on the wings and earlier Harley's to mount my PV.
There's are some big pluses to the Garmin ... I have lifetime map updates for free ... I can generate routes on my mac and load them to the Zumo. I've been told I can do that with the Harley ... but whenever I make the route and export it to a flash drive, the Harley infotainment system doesn't seem to be able to load it.
The down side of the Zumo is it's one more thing I'd need to remove when I stop and the 550 doesn't have much storage space. I can only get Colorado, Utah, New Mexico, Western and Central Texas, and Nevada sans Vegas. That's pretty much my roaming area (Texas probably only for the Kerrville trips), but if I wanted to expand my trips ... I can't add more without removing some. I thought I could use a memory card to expand the map storage ... but apparently, I'm not computer savvy enough to figure that out.
I forgot to get pics of the "bracket" before I painted it ... It's hanging in the garage drying so maybe tomorrow.
