Hey Dutchman

Very interested in the GPS mount. It will fit the Streetpilot III?

What mounting will I need? Is the touratech bracket now redundant?

Any other photos showing fitting and without GPS unit in place?

Presumably not problems re turbulence etc

Just wanting to get a good idea as to how it looks.

Cheers

No turbulence at all.....the 1200GS screen does not rely on laminar airfow, so all is calm behind it...............

Final question

If the Streetpilot III is installed with the arial up and the screen in the lowest position (short arse) I presume there is no fouling of screen and arial?

ariel or arial?

The mount was designed primarily as a mount for the SP26XX/BMW Motorrad Navigator II, but the SPIII wall also fit. The kit includes spacers which hold the GPS approx 3cms closer to the rider, thus not compromising the OE screen adjustment.

FWIW, I'm only 5'9" and after much adjustment of the screen, I have it one notch above halfway and can still see right over the top.......we're even thinking of making a carbon fibre screen..........!!

Recieved my 'Type 1' GPS mount from 'Motorrad Concepts' today and I have to say I'm very impressed with he design and quality of the product. It wasn't cheap at £83 but, I reckon it was worth it. All I need is the new GPS now!

Do not beleive what Dutch wman tell you here!

Not True, It just did not happen. The hand laid carbon turned out to be fiberglass and not very nice at that. They can not get orders right, you will end up with the wrong part, no part, wrong color and you will suffer and go through hell if you order from them. In the end they will just stop talking to you and if they said they mailed it..well don't ask for a tracking number for research to find your part....because you won't get it!
