GPS Mount

[ff73148]

I want to mount my Garmin Zumo but I don't want to mount it on my handle bar. Any ideas? Thanks.

Yea...buy another cubby cover, (stock one) $80 and mount your GPS on it and when you travel or are in need on the GPS just install your extra cubby cover and done!!! You can run the power wire into the cubby as well and then into the GPS so the power cord is more of a clean look...There is a member here who has done this maybe he will post a pic???

That is a great idea. I came to the same idea a few days ago, it also is a good sight line.

Wouldn't you have to look down to see the screen?

Here's my mount that Steve is talking about.

Hi Jerry, I too, am looking to purchase a Garmin Zumo 660 and would like it in the center, instead of the handlebar mount.
Do you have any pics of the actual GPS mounted on the F6B ?? TIA

Yes you would have to look down if you wanted to see the screen. I just listen for turn by turn directions.

Just goggle zumo mount goldwing and then look at image, and you should
fine a mount to fit your needs there are plenty of photos

Look at the photo with the mount coming out right
below the ignition switch, its pretty simple to make.
It was made by a member on a different Goldwing
forum

This is exactly what I was thinking about, how'd you make it or where'd you get it?

This was an interesting solution, looks like an older Goldwing, though. Wonder if it would work?

Does anyone know what type of mount that is?

Dang Darcym - I see RAM mounts everywhere. I have the suction cup and the 2 ball set up off the clutch lever clamp. I'll post a pic.

I just found the two ball on the clutch lever clamp product, didn't know that existed before. I may swamp one of my one ball for the two balls. Can't have enough balls.

(that was a softball, btw)
:icon_razz:

btw: product number RAM-B-309-1U is the one ball, RAM-B-309-2U is the same product with two mounting balls.

WingStuff has a bar that mounts to each side of the handlebar allowing all sorts of mounts. I am looking to use it for a Zumo/Touratech mount.

I have my Zumo mounted on the clutch perch using the Ram mount with ball but where can I hardwire this into the bike so that it only gets power when the key is turned on?

[tonycarver]

my old bike had a aftermarket shark audio system. my Garmin had an SDcard port. so music would play from the SD card into the amp. when a directional command came up, music would cut off, betty would say turn left and the tunes would come back on. with the on board system on our 6's how can I set this up again? we're running a jump drive from the back for tunes (radio up here sucks all talk no tunes pbbbt). I guess my question is if I can find a GPS that accepts jump drives or SDcards, can it be connected to the on board and get the same result?

I tied into the power for the 12V accessory socket in the cubby on the left (clutch) side. There are 4 small pop rivets and the whole cubby comes out. Under this you will find the 12V accessory connector (red).

Hope this helps!

TerryB that's exactly the information I was looking for. Thank you. I just bought this bike this past Thursday up in Quebec. After riding it home to Ontario where I live, I noticed the owners manual is all in French. Bottom line: I don't really know where anything is because my French is a bit weak. This information helps a lot.
