Decided to get 1 of these today for when im out off roading,nice bit of kit,but resolution on watch is very poor tho,apart from that,it can be used on any android or apple device. Also brought an extra mount,and when we got it home it was actually 4 mounts in the kit so worth the extra £15

Went to fit clutch to tmf today,and cover plate is wrong,i was wondering if it would be worth using the old cover plate,as it looks fine and nothing broken,issue with old clutch was it being heavy,and i need to get tmf back on the road asap.
