dp.guzzi Posted November 29, 2007 Posted November 29, 2007 I have a Garmin Zumo mounted with a Gadget Guy bracket on my R1150RT. I would like to get a bracket for my 2002 LeMans. Have any of you done this? Any thoughts?
ALLAN Posted November 29, 2007 Posted November 29, 2007 I mounted my Zumo 550 on my Triumph 675 and my '04 Lemans in similiar fashion. It works perfectly. Unfortunately I do not the photos any longer but they can be viewed at www.triumph675.net. Click on "Forum Index" then "Test & Ride Reports" and look for "Touring on a 675." Towards the bottom of Page 1 there is a description of parts used and detailed photos.
Guzzirider Posted November 29, 2007 Posted November 29, 2007 Here is a pic of my zumo 550 mounted using the standard Garmin motorcycle mount which I believe is made by RAM.
dp.guzzi Posted November 29, 2007 Author Posted November 29, 2007 You guys are all teriffic! Very knowledgeable and helpful. Thanks. The one on the Triumph 675 looks like it blocks view of the instruments. The one on the Guzzi may work, but I like symmetry. I guess you can't have everything. I have to go to work now but later I'll look at the mounting parts that came with the Zumo. Thanks again guys.
GuzziMoto Posted November 29, 2007 Posted November 29, 2007 Ram mounts will work, but Touratech(and probably others) makes locking anti-vibe mounts. Not cheap, but nicely made.
ptrkbeam Posted November 29, 2007 Posted November 29, 2007 I used RAM mounts for a 2610. Solid, does not shake around, doesn't block intruments or keys, and I too like symmetry. Photo looks like it does block my view but seated and under way, I see dials and colored lights just fine. May work for the Zumo, too. http://www.v11lemans.com/forums/index.php?...=8077&st=15
aerodyne Posted November 29, 2007 Posted November 29, 2007 Hi I spent quite some time looking at various methods of fixing for my Quest II, didn't have a lot of success so I fabricated my own. Used 6m/m thick alloy for the bracket, used 2m/m thick rubber between alloy bracket and base mount of body that sat nav clips into. No vibration or any other issues. Took a few hours to fabricate but well worth the time.
docc Posted November 30, 2007 Posted November 30, 2007 I just mounted a Zumo to my 2000 Sport with the RAM mounts provided with the unit. I was rather surprised to get the thing set up without buying more hardware. I did mount it to the leaft clip-on ( If you live in the UK you might want to mount the left-handed GPS on the right ) The hardest part was pulling tha tank and airbox to route the power cable. I'll try to get a picture up . . .
