I was spoiled with my old bike by having the digital speedometer, but I did not have the gear indicator that the RS has which is a life saver. Also, since BMW installed the noise control valve on the exhaust, it is hard to know when to shift by noise when I have my custom ear plugs in, so I somewhat need to see the tachometer for reference at times (not just speeding up).

My question is, is it possible to create your own Instrument screen that includes the Gear Indicator, Digital Speedometer, and the Tachometer? I know that I can switch between screens, but I am just curious to see if I can just get them all on one.

I understand that the analog Speedometer is right in front of me, but when I am going 70-80mph (112-128kmh) down the freeway (motorway), the arm on the speedometer is shaking and I don't know 100% how fast I am going.

I use the Nav V mounted above the instrument panel set to gps speed. Maybe try that?

That is really smart, but I do not have the Garmin GPS since its expensive. I decided to get the phone mount that fits into the Nav V slot

Can you point to a link for that phone mount?
