You know, I could have bought a lot of gas with the money I've spent buying upgrades, but the upgrades have made the bike what I want it to be and now I want to ride it more than ever. Until I start traveling on my Bonnie, it would be a bit of a waste to have a GPS on it. But, it would be ridiculously cool and trick to have a removable color LCD dash on my bike instead of the analog speedo and tach. I realize theft is an issue, but I could put up with that; just have to remember to remove it.

If I could make a black anodized aluminum bracket to seat the GPS in the place of my guages so that it looked stock and hardwired it into the bike's power so that it came on when I turned the key, that would be so cool! But, no odometer. As long as I use the odometer in the GPS to keep up with my mileage for servicing and oil changes, it wouldn't be an issue.
