Spell Penis right Andy

that black tack looks like glazing tape

Well, I've used this a few times now to put my sat nav onto either the top yoke or onto the front of the tank -- and its brilliant !

Not like gaffer tape at all, more like a super strong blu tac. The longer its on, the more 'firm' it seems to be . Three small blobs is enough to hold my old Garmin Quest on the bike. When I take it off, there is no residue.

I know my sat nav is old, but it has a 20 hour battery life ( so no need for hard wiring) .. well, it had when it was new, now seems to be around 8 - 10 hours (I think that I need to 'condition' the battery a bit more : let it run completely out a few times, see if I can recover it a bit more).

If someone can pm me how to post pics, I'll put some up if anyone wants to see ?

Can you just keep reusing that stuff?

yes you can keep using it - peel it off, roll it up, re-use it --- its just like blu tac only stronger
available from those camera shops that do extreme sports / head cam equipment an stuff (eg action cameras, but I got mine from Northern Ireland : cant remember the name of the place at the mo)
