Knocked up a Pooratrek phone mount

The cover just pops off to reveal the screw hole (m6). The 22mm bar and spacer took about 45 minutes to knock up using hand tools and a pillar drill. Getting the cable to the USB inside the glovebox is easy.

For things that do "just pop off" its a good idea to use an old store card or credit card to apply some gentle leverage under the lip or edge.

Centrally front and back there are tags on the cover that plug into square holes on the bars. I worked on the back one first then the one nearest the clocks. Pull vertically with maybe a little pressure in towards the bar. Once one is off the other is easier.

Picked up mine friday. A 2022 in dark grey. Only ridden it once (for 50 something miles) and so far I'm more than happy with it. Pulls well (after 4 1/2 years with a Skoda Citigo anything pulls well!). Silky smooth and handles nicely. Hoping for some nice weather in the next few days as I am itching for another ride.

I considered a Burgman 400 as I have had two before, but when I found out about the Forza 350 I thought 'Hmmm... same power but smaller and lighter (you must admit the Burgman is a big heavy beast) with what appears to be the same storage.' I was concerned about the seat height of 780mm (I am 5 ft 6 and 29 inside leg) but after trying one for size I went for it.

I am sure you'll be happy with the bike. I find if you slide forward slightly at traffice lights etc. you gain a bit more feet on the ground .
I was impressed with the power from the start and after 19500 odd miles it is still the same. My only negative is the fuel pump breaking just a few days out of warranty, Honda would not budge and refused to meet me in the middle on costs etc.
All the best with your bike icon_thumbs_up.gif

A few days out of warranty? That's a bugger isn't it? Sometimes I think manufacturers rig components to fail just out of warranty. Still, I would have thought a big name like Honda would have been a bit more flexible. Obviously not.

As to getting a foot down I do find I have to adjust my seating position but this is a minor inconvenience.

I'm still happy with it. I have to do a ride to North Wales from the West Midlands in the next couple of weeks or so. I will reserve my final judgement till then.
