satnav on 848/1098
 

anyone got any pics of one fitted they can share? I have a garmin quest which I've usually fitted on the controls on the handlebars but wont go on the 848 like that

before I go and buy ANOTHER! fitting kit, be good to see what others have done

Don't forget the auxillary power supplies, backup batteries and emergency transformer;
;)

Some people just need to buy a car !! :eek:

Cant help but maybe able to buy any bits left over if they fit an ST4 or KTM 400 EXC

Paul, RD has a Garmin fitted on his 1098!

rattler - thyat bike was sooooo last month!!

I've seen the thing he uses on another channel, replaces the headstock nut and allows a ball to be fitted

just seeing if there is another (and cheaper!! ;) ) way to solve

obviously not from Engerland though as its sunny and dry.

You should not have time to look Bradders:D

AA road map and a memory should do !!!!:frog:

try working out your own direction instead of telling others theirs!:lol: ;)

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!!

Oh, the irony

wheres the thumbs up smiley ;)

Is it ironic because were talking about losing direction on the DSC site?:lol:

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?

oh dead...oh dear...oh dear

any of this going to help solve my satnav problem?!

bradders bradders......what was the question...:lol:

did you not take it down to use against me later :puzzled:

:lol:

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.

Don't thing Paul will ask him for his opinion :lol:

I have one of these. Superb!

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.
