mounting gps - FuZzBoM - 07-07-12 Hi all, i have a Garmin Zumo 220 and have mounted it with the supplied RAM mount kit. i am no happy with it because it looks untidy. How do you peeps have yours mounted? to give some background i have a set of renthal bars fitted with the brace bar. i would ideally like to mount it on the brace bar or behind the clocks but open to suggestions. thanks, Re: mounting gps - Davidjw - 07-07-12 I have the same bar set up as you and have my zumo 550 mounted in the middle on the tank side of the brace works fine but then I dont ride along stairing at it  :rolleyes    Re: mounting gps - Noj - 07-07-12 I used a SW Motech, took ages to arrive, however it is has an anti vibration mounting. Not sure its the best or it will suit your requirements. Very tidy and tuff. http://www.motohaus.com/acatalog/SW_Motech_Yamaha_GPS_Mounts.html Re: mounting gps - Dave 1625 - 09-07-12 I welded an 8mm nut to the handlebars then had them powder coated black. When i want the sat nav on I simply fit the rubber bal in place. When not using sat nav all you see is a mushroom headed bolt where the rubber mount would sit. looks really neat. I hated the bolt on bracket supplied with my 550 and have tried loads of ways to tidy it up.

Dave 1625 - i like this idea but not having a welder or the ability to use it limits me. also not sure i could weld to alloy renthal bars lol. Noj - I really like the idea of those. seen one on my mates BMW and looks really nice. could you take a picture? again with the bars but not sure it will go round the brace bit.

Then used a short Double-Socket-Arm. Mine's a TomTom, but same difference. Re: mounting gps - FuZzBoM - 10-07-12 all sorted  ordered one of these. http://www.triumph-online.co.uk/sw-motech-handlebar-gps-pda-mount-for-78-22mm-bars-gps00308100-1820-p.asp (don't worry i didn't buy it from that site lol) all fitted and i am really pleased with it.
