Mounting Bracket for Spotlight (Adjustable) Alright, me fellow bikers, let’s talk spotlight mounting – specifically, the unsung hero of any spotlight setup: the bracket itself. I’ve used a fair few in my time as biker, hmm thats now heading into 36 years now, Ouch I am getting old, anyways back on track, most spotlights are just a fixed mounting bracket, based on the lights being adjustable on its own bracket, but when you have a set up like mine its more about making it OCD proof 🙂 First Impressions of the Bracket Ok, lets start with how they are made, …

Blinded by the Light: Innovv 3rd Eye Blind Spot Detector Delivers a reliable feeling of extra safety when riding your bike. When it comes to motorcycle safety, we can never be too cautious and that is where the Innovv 3rd Eye Blind Spot Detector comes in, a gadget looking to be the “guardian angel” for your motorcycle blind spots, but does it live up to this, or is it just another gizmo destined for the “why did I buy this ?” And end up not really being used…… Install: A DIY Adventure (for me thou a BikeMoto install) First things …

EzCAN II Sahara 

Pompey Learninated0 Comments

HEX ezCAN Accessory Manager for the Honda Africa Twin ES Adventure Sports 2023. The only solution to be able to Customise additions to your bike, be it lights to horns without messing up your warranty. I do love a set of spot lights, but with having a new bike thats still in warranty means there are only the Honda own or after market ones which could end up invalidating your warranty depending on how they are installed, and thats something I do not want to happen. So the option around this is using the Ezcan system which plugs into the …

QL Damper Update

Pompey Learninated0 Comments

I wanted to do a updated post on my Quadlock setup since the issue with the damper failing a few months back. As a quick refresh on Quadlock system, they are the most known and common used way to mount phones for various vehicles and one that I personally have used for many a years without any issue, but a little while ago I ended up having a problem with my setup (below) and had to contact Quadlock UK for support as my damper gave in and would not lock on my wireless module from them which lead to my …

Touratech Comfort Seat

Pompey Learninated0 Comments

Touratech Comfort Seat brought from Rugged Roads. When it comes to comfort the stock seeds is not one of the things that needs some help, and from day one I have been looking at ways to resolve this. On my previous Africa Twin I went to a local upholsterer who replaced the foam and put three layers of memory foam to pad it out which worked really well and at a great cost (£100 for front and back). This time I wanted to go for a seat that was pre-made so I was able to keep the original, so if …

Ghost D3O IP Armour

Pompey Learninated0 Comments

Ghost D3O IP Armour – CE certified level 2 protection. This product truly astounds me with its remarkable thinness and flexibility. It feels as if there is virtually nothing there compared to the more conventional rigid foam D30 armour. The new IP D30 is like holding a sheet of fabric, lacking any defined shape or rigid support. I have been an avid user of the more traditional foam-style D30 and I cannot speak highly enough of it. It provides adequate rigidity for support while also offering some flexibility and comfort and then upon impact it instantly transforms into a firm …

Quadlock Damper

Pompey Learninated1 Comment

Quadlock Motorcycle Vibration Damper I purchased many Quadlock items before, from cases to mounts, to power systems and wireless chargers, spent hundreds with them but there weakest point is all this gear uses bolts to make sure your £1500 phone stays in place, well that is apart from when you add the vibration damper to the setup and we all know this is a MUST have if you want to use your camera again on your phone. The issue is their Vibration Damper is a waste of time, its head together with 3 rubber mounts that help with the vibration, …
