    Compasses

    I would think a compass would work pretty well on our F6B's... since there is a lot of "plastic"

    Anyone install a floating ball type compass; like this on their F6B?

    I want to "fill in" the area to the right of my GPS with "something" since the left side of the GPS has the Steel Mate TPMS reciever installed.

    I need "balance" in my immediate field of view.

    Just a thought... will speaker magnets cause an accuracy issue with a Compass.

    Doesn't your GPS already have a compass on it? Most Garmin's do.

    It does, I'm just trying to find a gizmo to complete the space to the right of the GPS. It's bugging the crap out of me...

    I use a suction cup one i put on the windshield (inside) but after speaker upgrade it has to be rather high on shield as to not have magnetic interference

    Yes, I have that particular one mounted on the left side (left upper area of the radio control console). I ALSO have the Honda Analog voltmeter installed on the right fairing area; next to the key lock for the center console.

    So I have two of them... don't need a third I have been meaning to decommission the digital one since I installed the analog version... just haven't got 'round toit
