...I really don't like the wheel thingy - I find it spoils the left bar ergonomics, was always getting knocked accidentally, and gets in the way of reaching the indicator switch so I initially re-located it to the right of the switches, and then removed it completely on the last GS. Now need it for the TFT, so may use the spare grip and spare modified wheel which I kept from the last bike and fit it on the new one.
Ah, that's interesting. I confess to never having actually owned a GS before and had always thought that the wheel control was part of the switchgear cluster and could not be removed on its own. With no actual use for it and now knowing it can be removed, I would probably do so.
However the 1250 uses it for the main TFT and so that's no longer really an option. Plus, the Wunderlinq would provide (some) phone control so it's certainly something I want to try out as I'm sure I'll find it useful as using the iPhone on the bike is getting progressively more difficult with irritating alerts that can cover important navigation instructions at the crucial moments and forcing you to log in at every opportunity, all of which is problematic when wearing gloves, let alone while actually riding. So seems to me, any way to make this control easier has to be a good thing.
If I try it and hate it, I'll be sure to let you know I was wrong.
