Street Pilot III for 1200GS - mounting tips?

Speedy23 said:

Hi all, just received my £150 SP III - lot of kit for the money Has anyone got any suggestions on how best to mount it on a 1200GS? The supplied RAM mount looks a bit agricultural - not to mention a tight fit inside the screen. Is it possible to mount the unit on a cross bar on the handlebars? Any pictures, etc., muchly appriciated.Thanks Jan

The U-bolt will fit around the tubular handlebars, to attach around the oval rail above the clock add a RAP-319. It may help if you take the screen off as well.

Is it possible to mount the unit on a cross bar on the handlebars? Yes.

A few pics of mine!
A good view of the screen, easily in reach - when you're stationary - and at arms length so no reading glasses needed!

Fits snugly behind the screen

I used a different RAM base for mounting it on the screen bar.

I also modified the RAM top mount to allow me to use the mount in the car too....

What is/are the part numbers for the bracket that attaches to the screen mounting bar?

This looks like just what I need.

Thanks

Does anybody know if this mount can be used with an MRA Vario Touring Screen or only the standard screen?

Thanks.
