Default Zumo 550

Thinking about getting one after all the reading. Does anyone have any pictures mounted on their bike? I read that the mount looks bad when the unit is not in it. I probably will not keep in all the time and want to use in my truck too. Tired of my handheld with a small black and white screen.

Hang on... I'll go snap a few.

Here are a few shots of mine. I already had one of Bobby Gilbert's awesome mounts for my Roady XT and as luck had it, the bolt pattern was identical for the Zumo mount! It's a combo "Bobby / Ram" mount.

I move the Zumo from bike to bike to car. The only thing I leave on the bike when the zumo is elsewhere, is the Ram ball mount. It's not a big deal. It's about a 1" ball on a C-clamp on the handle bar.

Get you a chrome Techmount mount and you won't mind leaving it on the bike.

ORIGINAL: allikanbe

I move the Zumo from bike to bike to car.
Me too. It's a sweet little device. I added the XM antenna to mine and used the extension cable that comes with the antenna kit to permanently wire to one of my saddle bags and just connect the antenna to the extension cable inside the saddle bag. That way I can very simply pull the XM antenna off the bike and use it in the cage too.
