A favour to ask of a 1200GS owner

Would someone who already owns a 1200GS be so kind as to take a picture of the front of their GS, looking through the windscreen and the layout of the bars behind the clocks.

I need to plan how i'm going to mount my IPAQ for navigation, it seems more sensible than using the bars.

Please e-mail them to me (russvfr@hotmail.com)

Thankyou

If you find navigating NLS website a chore, we've got most of the same pix here: http://www.bmwridersscotland.com/GalleryOne.htm

Also a high level GPS mounting solution for the 1200GS can be seen here:

www.bmwridersscotland.com/Merchandise.htm

It shows only one version but we actually do another one now which is longer/taller and allows full screen adjustment...I'll be posting pix of it shortly, but can e-mail directly to you, if interested....

Cheers

Please do!

I did look at that solution on the Scottish website, but it didn't indicate whether it could be adapted/used for Ipaq based GPS systems given their different dimensions.

If you find navigating NLS website a chore, try waiting for the Scottish site to load.

I don't have a problem.......2mb broadband probably helps........

Funny, nobody else has mentioned problems & even my son's steam driven laptop seems to cope........

No problems here, but the orange on black text for the message board is a real pain in the eyeball. Too much tartan in the whisky.

Too tempting not to reply.

I did find it took quite a while to load. Slow enough to be mildly irritating; not enough to be a problem though. ISDN 128kb

Well, it's your site, innit? The only downside is you've lost one potential customer ...

It (nearly) all Greek to me

Thanks to everyone who has responded and Dutchman for your e-mail

Think i may have to wing it a little, might use my current ram mount and use the 'bar work' behind the screen as a mounting point, seems like a brilliant place for it!

I presume the screen comes off quite easily in order to access the rear of the clocks?
