2014 CB500X Satnav

[yoyo]

Has anyone ever owned a 2014 CB500X? The other half's son in law has bought one and is looking for a sat nav mount but everything is listed as 2016 onwards, any ideas? He's not keen on fitting it his phone on the bars.

You should be able to fit any Garmin or other brand via a ball and socket mount to the bars. The unit will connect across the battery via a fused lead or you can splice into a switched live such as the rear brake light.

Mapping for old satnavs is not really a problem, you can use open source mapping such as OpenStreetMap. Plenty of info about that in this site

Thanks for the quick reply. It's the fitting on the bars he's keen to avoid. He was hoping to have it above the clocks which seems cheap and easy to do on a 2016 on bike but not a 2014.

He might find this a useful read?

Based on the article I’d be inclined to try the cheap 2016 mount he’s seen as it might well fit?

Maybe post a pic of the cockpit/instrument area for some suggestions?
