Hey Kenny, what size P clamp did you pick up. I think I'm stealing that idea!!
Never mind...read the thread. Thanks!
I hope you can improve on it, take some pictures and post them. I had designed it to allow 3 ball mounts with the hope that i could squeeze a phone mount in there along with the Garmin. But there was not enough room without it looking like a total kluge. But, with the Garmin 595LM you don't need to view your phone anyway as all calls and messages our displayed through the Garmin. And you can make calls using the Garmin too. Its a pretty cool device.
In the end, that 1" ball to the right of the Garmin was used for a GoPro mount.
Also, the 12V power line can easily be fished under the gas tank without removing your tank. You may want to pull the speedo/console up and out of the way to help feed the wire through. Find something rigged yet light and flexible to fish under the tank and then pull the wire through. I used two long plastic wire ties taped back to back.
This by far is the best bike I've owned. My previous ride was an 07 Street Glide. It was modified with an RB Racing pipe, SE204 cams and a heavy breather filter. The suspension had race tech fork internals, Ohlin 13.25" rear shocks, a bagger frame brace and a custom made fork brace (the cow bells had to come off the forks). From a handling standpoint, this bike severely spanks my previous ride and this one's bone stock. The 114 is deceptively fast. I'm waiting for Bassani to release their Road Rage 2 into 1 pipe so the Granny from Pasadena will hear me when I'm next to her and she'll be less likely to make me her door ornament. I've only got 750 miles on this one (I had 96k miles on the Street Glide) and I'm looking forward to many more. The potential on this bike is amazing. I'm not missing the tour platform at all on this ride. Congratulations brother on your new ride!
What is the 114 engine code in the vin number? Trying to tell if a 18 Heritage is a 107 or 114, they changed the air cleaner.
I hope you can improve on it, take some pictures and post them.
I double checked my setup. With the Reckless fairing I don't have enough room for the p-clamp. I'll continue my search. The U-bolt mounts work well but man they're ugly! At least they're black. LOL
