So here are the two accessories my dealer installed for me – total cost plus installation was maybe $180 or so. Haven't really needed them yet, but I did test them on one short ride. Will definitely come in handy for the long haul!

Wow $180 is a hell of a lot of $$$ for that. I hope you get good use out of it. I wouldn't. I got my new seat from Thailand for that price and I considered that money well spent. How's that hump treating ya Dustin?

I'd imagine most of the money went into the installation, although RAM mounts aren't cheap either! Looks good, that RAM mount will be great because it will work with almost any device.

Pedro, Maddie was right – half the $ went to installation... and the one time I need it to charge my bluetooth headset or power up my phone for GPS, it will already have been money well spent!
The RAM mount is solid as hell, and I just take the grip off and store it, and rotate the mount down when I don't need it. It's a short arm, so using the phone as a GPS doesn't interfere with the dash at all.
As far as the hump goes, I actually like it, giving me a little back rest. Probably also helps that I'm only 5'7" on a good day!

Yup- that makes sense then. My dealership charges $140 per hour for installation which is why I declined their quote to fit my new windshield as they wanted a full 1 hour fee but I knew better thanks to maddiedog's "how to" instructions. So, I did it myself. I got them to do my top box though which I'll show you in your top box thread Dustin.
