I added the Touratech GPS mount above the screen and a cheap Ali-Express sidestand enlarger.

The GPS is much better in the middle than it was off to one side mounted on a RAM mount on the bars.

It looks like it is just on 'preorder' here in the USA. After all the preorder issues on the PA followed up with my preorder of a Ford Maverick Hybrid last June 2021 (and still not built yet) I am not sure I will ever preorder anything again.

Got the TFT update finally. Tech had a bad USB-C flash drive that would not take the update. Initially was a little disappointed till I realized I could turn up the brightness- now much better. It seems to have fixed the clock issue as well as it corrected itself. Hopefully, it also took care of the phantom stall that might happen as I'm coming to a stop. It's happened 4 times in 6000 miles. The first time scared the **** outa me, now I just pull in the clutch and hit the start button and it immediately fires up.I don't think it's a fob frequency issue like some have experienced with the no-start problem, but???

Even here in Europe it took the best part of a month to get it. Nonetheless, it is very well made and comes with a complete and well sorted set of hardware to get it installed. The instructions are a bit "Lego", but make sense as long as you study them.

No issues here.

I saw from an owner in Europe that 2 of the bolts that are visible from the front of the motorcycle were silver instead of black, is that the same with yours? Did you also go for the sunshade for the instrument screen?

BTW, the TFT update also shows the odometer, range, and gas gauge, and as I said, so far the clock is correct!

Yes. The two bolts on the front "wing" of the fairing are stainless steel rather than black. But I have a flat black paint pen...

I didn't order the sunshield myself. There's not likely to be much sun here for a few months and I already have an anti-glare screen protector on the XT, so will see how it works like that...

I meant on the HD phone app, not just on the TFT

Regarding latest TFT update - Was anyone told by dealer service they are "waiting to get files from Harley" for update? Is it anything other than a process of downloading files, putting them on a USB, and updating the bike?? I expected the dealer to not have the seat rail recall parts but didn't expect a problem getting TFT update done. Sounds like they just don't want to do it and they want me to pick up the bike.. I'll probably have to go down there and see if the service manager backs up this story tomorrow.
