The Master List
This will serve as the master list of everything I need to take on this little adventure. I figure I need to put it all in one place as a single check list, because I keep having flashes of inspiration of things I need to bring, but if I don't put it all in one place, there's no way I'll leave here with everything I need, obviously.

Nice To Have:
New Micro-SD memory cards
New Go Pro Hero 4 as a backup.
Givi spare key issue. See this is what I don't get. I have 2 different Givi key numbers: 171, and 115. Which makes me think that I've had 2 different Givi cases. Is this possible? I dunno. But, I think that the key I'm interested in is Givi key 171. I tested the Givi spare key on 10/28. Works fine.
The RAM mount I currently have is the Garmin Montana 600 Motorcycle Mount RAM-B-149-GA46U. The sub-components that make up this RAM mount are:
Garmin Montana 600 Series Cradle (RAM-HOL-GA46U) +
Diamond Plate with 1 inch Ball (RAM-B-238U) +
Medium Arm B-Socket (RAM-B-201U) +
Steel U-Bolt Motorcycle Mount Base (RAM-B-231U).
So, I'm thinking I'd like to have another one of these set up for my iPhone 6S Plus.
It occurs to me that everything would be exactly the same except for the Garmin Montana 600 Series Cradle (RAM-HOL-GA46U). That's the only piece that would need to be different, it seems.
The closest thing that RAM has for the iPhone 6S Plus looks like it would be this.
