    Alp700 screen with accessory bar? ne1 Know of one?

    Im sure Id seen someones bike pics on here where they had some alternative brand of tall/vario screen that happened to have an accessory bar on it.

    Does anyone know what brand that was or where I can find such an accessory?

    Need to hold the mobile phone satnav further up in the screen rather than attached to the bars as it is.

    Thought about it....thats as far as it got!

    Mounting points are few and far between on the Alp7 screen, it rattles about a lot already so im concerned about mounting points for vibration and damping.

    A flat pieve of thin alu plating, cut to mount on all four screen bolts would be the best I can think of otherwise its just the 2 allen bolts either side of the fairing which are down by the indicators and a fair bit away form the centre of the screen/clocks already.

    There is a post somewhere that shows a "bar" across the screen. The poster has mounted his sat-nav on it.
    The "bar" is home made and held, as far as I remember, by the screen bolts.
    You could use Alloy tube with flattened ends.
    I did consider making one but came to the conclusion that the Sat-nav was to far away for easy reach?
