Mine also broke at the section where the bolt goes to tighten it up. If they fall on a hard surface they will break ( concrete) in my case. Rather than pay out for another pair ( yes pair ) as you can't but one on its own, I decided to repair using fibreglass. About an hour to fix and sand it...

G'day All, Just a short story on GPS and what I have found works best for me. Recently I purchased a Garmin Montana 650, and was less than impressed with its screen, maps and general usability all round.( returned in under warranty) A mate of mine put me onto another way of doing this, use your...

I seem to hear all the time how the Tenere 660 is underpowered, under sprung etc etc etc, I have had mine 2 years, its stock standard except for protective add ons, and it goes anywhere I ask it to, and does it exceptionally well. We do up to 15 hour days sometimes, and it never misses a beat...
