It looks very nice ! Planing to by a GPS myself for my trip to Normandy this summer, but think the TomTom looks huge! Like the small Garmin Quest better, by appearance ofcause, have no ide about funktion on either of them.

 

Thanks for the info, I'll order one to. I've been using TomTom 5 in my mobile for some time and I beleive it is the same vertsion in TomTom rider so I might be able to answer any question that you may have.

 

Rhino, what type of mount did you use? It looks like you attached it to the clutch master cylinder clamp?

 

In order to get it close to the handle bar I had to cut out a piece of the original tomtom bracket.
Its hard to explain but the bracket in original shape would only allow the ball to be more close to the driver.
When cutting out a piece of the bracket (5 mm wide) the ball could be angled more than it was supposed to be.

If you want more detailes please say so then I take a close photo.

 

Yeah, when you get a chance, take a picture of the mount. I'm still trying to figure out just where to mount my Quest 2. I also need to power it and have to mount a powerlet (BMW type) socket.

 

Here it is Captain.

Thanks Rhino! It looks like a Ram mount attached to the clutch bolts. I was thinking of using this:



Or a steering stem mount like this



With this ball on top



Cycoactive is local and carries all the mounts. I have the 3" arm and MC mount for my Quest 2 already, so all I need is the ball mount.

Thanks for the pictures!


Edited for spelling......

 

Waz57,

Question about the clock I can see hiding behind your satnav. What is it, where did you get it from, is it 12v supply, is it waterproof?

I'm looking for a clock/thermometer for my 1000F.

Thanks,

hmm.
