Due to my recent move to Denmark I had to sell my Honda Pan European due to very high so called ‘registration tax’. I still had an ‘old’ route scroller from my ST1100. Due to the heavy tax in Denmark I bought a Diversion XJ900s. |

| The original route scroller is actually built for a pushbike (typical Dutch !), but is adjusted for the use on a Pan European motorbike. As far as I know this is only for sale in Holland at the Pan European club or at one motor shop called Vos in Oss (close to Den Bosch). This adjusted version already has two aluminium tubes at the end including a bolt and nut (picture 1). |  |
|
| Looking at the possibilities for the Diversion I saw that I only needed to bow a small iron plate at both sides that could fit on the mirror rod. I went to the DIY and bought two iron plates (garden supplies) of 2mm thick, by 2cm wide and approx. 8cm long (cost € 1,30), as well as two rubber rings (cost € 0,50) (picture 1). |  |
|
| The only thing I did than was to bow the plates simultaneously in a bench vice, total time approx. 20 min. As pictures 2 and 3 show one angle is at 45 degrees and the other at 90 degrees. As the iron plates already had holes I had to drill the lower hole at 10mm to fit in the mirror rod. |  |
|
| The upper hole had to be sawed from the top in order for the route scroller to fit in. When you install the iron plates on the mirror rods you only have to adjust them so the route scroller is in a horizontal position (pictures 4 and 5). The mirrors are not at the same position on the steer, therefore this adjustment has to be made. |  |
|
| I included rubber rings to make sure that the scroller can be completely tightened and can not get loose when driving. In total I needed about one hour to think about the solution, execute it and in the meantime buy a 10mm gimlet, so if you know what you need you can do it in relatively short time. Good luck and much pleasure in driving. Pim Beijen |  |
