almost funny.... :p

mainly for Germany use, although its easier to plan routes off-patch using the sotfware and easier to stay on route by uploading then using it!!

Were? do you mean "we're talking" as in we are? Or "were talking" as in the past tense?

I did think better of you than the old resort to hows your grammar line.......:rolleyes:

As in, "We are looking into the accounts"

Or as its been what 8 months, perhaps more realistically.....

Were, as in "we were looking at the accounts".....

Or how do you spell credibility?

Paul,

Like most, I also used the handlebar Ram Mount, it is ok. It positioned my Garmin Zumo 550 just inside the screen on the clutch side.
The only problems I found was that I didn't like my GPS offset to one (left) side and my GPS screen is very difficult to see at an angle in direct sunlight.

I now use this on the top triple clamp / yoke.

The MotoReva mount is excellent and I think the best mount for superbikes / sportsbikes.
The GPS vewing angle is not effected now by direct sunlight due to a far better position / angle.

Hope this helps.

RD. :)

P.S. I know JeffST4RS also uses a MotoReva mount and Jeff also thinks its great.

Paul,

Not sure if it's any good to you, but I hired a TomTom Rider V2 for my trip last month to France on the 748R.

The brackets that came with it are obviously more designed for trailee style bikes and were useless for a sports bike so I just got two strips of thin metal about 20mm wide and 100mm long. I drilled holes in these that lined up with the holes on the back of the TomTom body and used the TomTom screws to secure the strips.

The whole assembly was zip-tied to the top yoke and worked a treat. I just placed some padding under the strips to get the viewing angle right and stop the metal scuffing the yoke itself.

Worked an absolute treat with no annoying vibration.

All in all it must have cost me about 30 mins of time as I had the tin lying around.

I'm sure you could do similar with the Garmin.

Guy
