Looks like a Ram Mount attached to the control via the screws.
Niner9.......... I have a question also. Bikeland did not give the bags a very favorable review, saying that the stitching was giving away in the short time they had them mounted to the Ducati. Although it looks like you have a different bag design that the one that was reviewed, how are your bags holding up?
I like the idea that nothing touches the bike, nice setup.
Thanks

The mount is the one that came with the zumo, it attaches to the two bolts that clamp the clutch lever to the bars, I'll take a pic today. The Corbin is comfortable and the wife loves it with the backrest, my only beef with it is is so slippery!!!! I put just over 12k on it last year. Set up right the 14 is the ultimate sport tourer/ sportbike IMO. The stitching on the rear pack is holding up well, no signs of splitting anywhere and it gets stuffed pretty well with the wifes shit lol.....

The first pic is what we took on a two week trip, we pack 6 days of clothes each, wash on the seventh day and then we're good to come home for another week. Cameras, chain wax, sandals, curling iron!!! all that shit goes in the tank bag.... Wifey has stopped trying to take "evening dresses" lol

Is that the Bags-Connection tank bag, gas cap mount? I have the Daypack II I think it's called, cool setup. I also have the rear bag setup called speed bags but the smalller version, as it will not fit on the 14 at all.

Here is a shot of my 06 with a full Givi bag and trunk set up. Also a Bagster tank bra and bag. Hate to brag but I have never seen another 14 with as clean and functional touring set up as this one. Everything can be bought off the shelf except for the mounting platform brackets for the trunk. These I fabbed myself. I put over 17,000km on it last summer touring without a hic up. Leaving a week tomorrow on another trip to Calif from Vancouver Island.

Very nice setup.
Looks like you can travel for weeks.
That screen looks huge. Who makes that one?
