There must be a mount that the 665 attaches to then that attaches to the Touratech adapter?
Is that mount also made by Touratech or Garmin?

Jerdog it is made by Touratech see the link below. The mount is a awesome piece of hardware for sure. They make the mount for other manufactures and other models from garmin.

I installed speedymoto frame and axle sliders before my 2500 miles to tennessee and I have to say they are very well made and are worth every penny.
the frame sliders saved my life because during the long rides I was able to put my feet on them, changing the angle my butt sits on the seat, giving me some relief.
Another thing, the taller windshield is not really helping me with the wind on my helmet, at high speeds the buffeting is a major concern, while I was trying to rest my butt I stood up on the side pegs and the non turbulent air felt so good. On the weekend im going to take off the windshield off and giving it a try and see if the windshield itself is creating all the turbulence.

I'm surprised that even the larger screen doesn't have a little vertical scoop to it at the top. Sure it would add drag, but I'll be first to go full cheese and by the monster windscreen that hits the streets. Needs more side strakes, too. The buffeting at 80+ is taxing on upper body.

I'm 5'8" and wear a decent AGV full face (Horizon). I've noticed below 80 is significantly calmer than above 80. I get beat up mostly in the shoulder/upper arm area. Also, clean back roads are much calmer than dirty-air highways.
Wagging from the bags and head shake tend to add up to an unsettled high-speed ride. Of course, it's easy to argue "just slow down". It's a light bike and should be expected.

I am 5'9" and wear a Shoei x11 and I have no problems with buffeting my head at any speed. Just the wind hitting my shoulders is the pita. I can see how a very long day could really tire one out on this thing.
I did have a Vstrom 650 once now we are talking head vibration. it was crazy.

Side and Top Bags
I have been thinking about the factory bags a lot lately and how they would take a fall or more how will the contents on the inside survive. I just got a touratech book and it has a page that says stuff is coming for the Hyperstrada. I hope they make a luggage rack because I am thinking about getting the hard boxes.
The top box should already work since the multi rack is the same bolt pattern from what I understand and its about the same price as the factory box. I have even thought about asking if I could get a unwelded rack from touratech and build the rack my self since I have the tools and skill to do so. Would be a fun project!

CA Fuel tank
Hi all,
Newbie from Not so Sunny Scotland here
. Picked up my HS on Saturday which has the Termi low level can and carbon screen. I'm well pleased with it, it compliments my 2007 Hyper 1100S brilliantly. I have the CA larger tank fitted to the 11s - does anyone know if they have one that fits the HS?
Thanks.
