Where did you get the 1-1/4 clamp? Would someplace like Orchard Supply carry a simple u bolt? Just got my zumo today and am going to mount it this weekend.
I have the Zumo 450, I mounted it to the fuel door with a bracket I bought from Kuryakan. I didn't like the way it looked on my handle bars. I'm very happy with the performance of the unit. I hard wired it and keep it locked in the bracket all the time.
Do you have any pics of the Kury gas tank mount on your bike with the Zumo? Kinda hard to visualize it from the pics on the Kuryakyn page.
I wired mine to the "Built in comes with the scooter" Aux power plug under the seat. Some of the service techs don't know what that plug is for. But on the road kings, there's a switch opposite the spotlight switch that turns on absolutely nothing. This switch is wired to that plug under the seat. There are two +/- 12vdc circuits in the connector--one through that toggle switch and the other wired to the ACC/IGN switch.
On the touring models with fairings, I think you've got a spare switch someplace, too--look in your manual.
I wired some accent led's thru the toggle switch circuit so the on/off for thethem looks like it belongs and my garmin and powered speakers are wired thru the ACC/IGN half. You can get a WYE connector extender from your (st)(d)ealer for about 16 or 17 bucks, and splice into it rather than the oroginal connector.
Then, if you want, re-fuse the standard 15AACC circuit to match your load and protect any added light wires.
ya know I have to add that using that U bolt for the ram mount put a nasty dent and scratches in my bars - not very happy about that at all. So I'll probably be going with a tech mount.
