Hey guys.. I know I read somewhere recently (included pics) of a guy that mounted his 66x GPS in the center of his fairing which 1.) allowed him to maintain all 3 windshield pouches and 2.) made for better viewing of the GPS when riding instead of having to look to the left side where the GPS mounts to the fairing. I just put my painted inner fairing on and I only want to do this once so I'm not using the HD fairing mount kit. Someone out there has to make a similar kit that will mount in the center just above the speedo and tach.

Thanks in advance,
Ultra

 

I just internally wired mine on my 2012 SG which has 14" apes. It was a pain, but I was able to pull the wire through the handlebars without cutting anything.

I had my 550 mounted on a custom mount next to my left switch housing. I liked it there because it puts the GPS up higher and in line with my view of the road.

Now I will be able to mount my 665 in the same location.. Awesome. let me know if I can help you out. Just PM me.

i really like my set up - i have used it almost a year now & it's been perfect for me - I can see all the gauges, doesn't block out anything - the GPS is easy to read -

 

hey murph.. I'm back at it again.. lol... only almost 2 years later. Got some pics of the way your setup is sir?

 

My sig pic is an old pic with a Streetpilot GPS in the middle. Now I have a Zumo 550 and a WS pouch to the right of the Zumo and nothing to the left.

 

Just chipping in with my two penny worth. If you ride with a passenger regularly, consider putting your gps off-centre. I did that, simply because it was convenient, only later discovered that Mrs B can see it easily. Keeps her interested and in busy traffic or awkward situations we can both navigate, as she gives me prompts over the intercom. We never planned that, but it works very well.

 

great idea grbrown.

What I was thinking about doing was something along these lines.

taking a perfectly good square ram mount, cutting it down to fit the area just center of my 2 gauges as shown below. Behind that area is pretty wide open so I can use another piece of metal stock to properly secure it so as to not crack my fairing. Then using the rest of the ram mount setup to mount the GPS directly in front of my center windshield bag and up out of the way of being able to see the gauges. I can do a "reach-around" like my wife does if I need something out of the center bag.


My concern is the 4 or so " of the ram mount needed to do this and the vibration rendering the GPS useless if I can't see it while it sits there and dances around.

 

Here ya go. These people are great to deal with.

good solution and thank you sir but NutZ would have to be NUTS to pay $125 for that.

 

Eglidegoodies have a wide variety of solutions available, where I got my handlebar mount.
