Greetings All,

I am an MP3 250ie Owner and i hale from sydney australia.

I have had my mp3 for about 3 months now, racked up 3500km on it so far and i use it for the daily commute as well as the weekend run.

I am interested to see what people are doing in regards to modifications/attachments as i am looking at mounting my iphone 3gs somewhere amongst the handlebars/dash area. Also i am interested to see if anyone knows if there is anything sitting behind the two flat spots that are under the handlebar areas on the dash/cowling, as i am considering installing a waterproof stereo system on my mp3. maybe a photo will do some justice to explain.

Great Forum!, i see there is lots of love for the MP3 & Fuoco.

For Sydney riding, I'd suggest using that space to install a Stebel Nautilus on each side! Stereo airhorns, now that would be a first

My goodness dmb, he only has a /250. If both airhorns were pointing in the same direction, think of the sudden deceleration he'd experience when he hit the button!

He might need that extra decel! Clown emoticon

And if he linked in the the high beam to the horn button he could get extra decel from the "photon braking".....

welcome, and there is not much space there! The front shocks move up on the turns when tipping.

Aim one horn to the rear to deal with tailgaters and the forces will balance not slowing the ride down. Just don't put them too wide on the handlebars or the turning force will give experience in dragging the center stand. Wha? emoticon

Mount them on a swivel.

Then they can be used for braking or for an extra boost on take off....
