Default Zumo threads

Hello,
Newbie here. Bought a Zumo 550 looking for threads for a clean install on FLHR. What did you guys do and where to get the products for quick disconnects. I do not want to leave it on the bike except for travel.

Thanks,

Connected mine through the headlight nacelle and ran the power wire up along the handlebar. Very clean install.

Nice looking install RDE,
I think I will go with something similar to yours. So was the powerbar from www.powerletproducts.com and the ram mount from www.ram-mount.com? Was there anything else needed?

You'll have plenty of time to figure out the install if you ordered from these clowns.

You're in for a bumpy ride Tonto. I'd get busy cancelling the order and ordering from a REPUTABLE dealer.

Thanks for the heads up. What a bunch of BS. I wish I had seen the reviews before ordering it. I have one already but with no mounting harware except for in car setup. When I saw the price from 86th street, I was just going to get a second one.

All you'll need is from these two sources. I also suggest getting a locking **** for your Ram Mount. Item #RAM-KNOB3LU

I think you might also need a cradle to set the Zumo in...Then the Ram-mount will attach to it...If all you have is the car cradle then you'
ll also need the cradle...
