Bulk discount on a packet of 50...

Yeah, I will almost certainly move the mount to the other side. I've always had the Sat-Nav on the left handlebar, and in the car down in the left bottom corner of the windscreen, not in the middle. I think that probably has, at least in part, to do with my eyes. On account of amblyopia (Wikipedia knows what that is...), I'm practically blind in my left eye. Putting the device on the left means it is there when I actively look at it, but otherwise doesn't bother me. On a computer with two screens, the right-hand one is also the "main" screen. The left one is there when I look at it, but otherwise just "parked". On top of that, the accessory socket on the Le Mans is on the left, so it would seem to make sense for purely practical reasons to move the mount to that side.

Thanks docc. I've seen those picture somewhere before, I think. Here is what deepl.com reckons the text means:

Today I got around to having a look under the seat of the V11 Le Mans. The short version: it doesn't look butchered, which is a good start. This is the V11, and for good measure her sister, the V35 Imola. The big Bertha under the cover behind the Le Mans is my Kawasaki GTR 1000. T The VIN has a "2" before the "M", which I gather is a sure indicator that the bike was built in 2002 (first registered May 2003). and the build year is corroborated by the label on the ECU Under the seat looks like this. Turns out there is even a collection of mediocre tools in there for rounding off the heads of bolts on the side of the road. There are more photos in the Gallery of the seat base and a couple of spots on the frame where it is obvious that there is contact, as there is wear visible, as is also the case on top of the batterey. The battery box mounts at the front haven't been moved to under the frame rail yet, so I'll have to do that soonish. After having already given some thought to relays (see the "Best Relay" thread) it occurred to me to take notice of what is in there now. Turns out that they are all 5 pin relays. SPDT is the acronym, I believe, i.e. they have both an NC and an NO contact. NO 35 A., NC 20 A., so I'll be leaving them in for the time being. Never heard of the brand, but I expect to be able to find some info in the net somewhere. There are no signs that the relays are contacting the seat base, which is good, but the upper mounting bolt in the picture, i.e. the one to the front of the bike, seems to be. The blinker relay (I guess) is mounted behind the relays with a cable tie. Is that where Luigi put it, or has it been moved? It is apparent that someone has been at the wiring. The first clue is a red wire going away from the battery positive. There are also more pictures of the "new wiring" in the gallery. It looks like a fuse holder that is normally not assigned has been used to supply a fuse for this wiring, the light blue one at the top of the picture for which there is no pictogram on the fuse box lid. Is this assumption, i.e. that this socket is normally not "assigned", correct? Following the wiring, I found this, a 12V accessory power supply socket from Hella. The wire going to it (photo in the gallery) has "Niedervoltleitung" written on it. German for "low voltage line" or "low voltage cable". There is a ball mounted on the handlebar that looks like it will fit the RAM mounts for my Sat-Nav, so the power socket makes sense, and the wiring looks half-way sound, so that is also good. The biggest question is, who's bloody idea was it to put the lock for the seat on the right-hand side of the bike? Took me quite a while to find it.
