Takes away from the look of 1199 imho. Looks like you have an 899 which looks less sexy to me anyways haha. Jk.
Fwiw, my solution to listening to music and navigation whiledst riding is to have a bluetooth headset connected to my cell phone that's in my Dainese jacket and Trickster onesy. I have the Scala Q3 version and it was on sale for $200ish. Then with your left hand on the set, you can control the music from my cell music player and it has speakers that stick to the inside of the ear cutouts in my Shoei GT-Air. Also has a stickon mic that goes in front of my mouth (with a surprising amount of room btw) that you can actually answer a phone call by shouting "answer" haha. Only got called twice so far. Works ok but hard to hear with my loud ... exhaust at freeway speeds.
I must say, I'm shocked as too how much listening to music can add to the Pani experience haha. I'm still VERY AWARE of my surroundings and what's going on.
I think having the visual of the cell down there lighting up and blinking and nav going, would be a completely different story
Plus there are enough riders that look like tards on the road, I don't think I would think too highly of some guy staring at a giant phone on his triple clamp, just sayin' lol. You could be the best and talented rider ever, but perception is reality imho. I'm 36yrs old btw. Not thaaaat old haha.
Plus in Cali, it's illegal to have earbuds of any sort in both ears, that's why speakers are allowed. Btw.
