GPS Mount

[Down Under]

G'day All,

Has anyone had any experience with this type of sat nav mount from Bike-Quip?

Looks like a quality item but wondering if it would create a drama getting access to the ignition switch?

Any other suggestions re different styles of GPS mounting kits would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Tony

I have a home made mount something like that. I does cause a slight problem getting to the key, especially in the dark, but I have gotten use to it. It does put the Nav where you can see it without much trouble.

Motorcyclelarry also has a great alternative cap, in case you do not have a riser.
If you want, he can offer that with a 12 Volt power outlet as well.
The access to the key is way better and it looks as if it is original.
Great STuff!

To mount my Garmin Zumo, I just used a threaded 1/4" rod up through the steering column extending just enough for a RAM ball to screw on through a drilled hole where the Honda emblem is. Fender washers and nuts at both ends with the rod cut to fit. Total cost...about $3.

Motorcyclelarry.com has a nice riser plate and a top plate that has Ram ball and a covered powerlet plug in. I like the Migsel dash mount and have ordered one from Cycle Gadgets. Its clean and looks like it belongs there. There are three places for Ram mounts.

+1 for the Migsel Shelf. Very nice setup. A bit pricey, but worth it IMHO.

I like the looks of that and considered it because of the 2 contact points. Seems like that may hold vibrations down a bit (not that I notice any)
By the time you ship it overseas it becomes cost prohibitive for me.

Try this one. As usual a little expensive but it looks very neat and simple too. Like me perhaps (the simple bit).

I also use a GPS mount that I made and is very similar to the Bike-Quip. It has been most convenient and dependable. Not a problem with the access to the ignition key.

yes, I found it pretty good, I liked it as it didn't damage the original middle cap between the hadlebars. I ended up fitting the bike quip risers which had the drilled hole for the RAM ball mount.

As far as I am concerned if I was not fitting the risers, I would have been happy with this type of mount for my gps.
