Hi NN,
I use a MiGSel mount, which fits around the speedometer and provides you with a RAM ball just above the speedo.
In this picture, I've used a medium length arm (3 1/2"?) to connect it to the plate bolted to the back of the cradle. I've since replaced it with a short arm (1 3/4"). RAM Man will be able to advise you on the various bits you need.
The mount keeps the unit close to your normal vision line. So close, in fact, that I've now taken off all the Autocom/helmet speaker arrangement, as the screen change which occurs at the same time as the voice prompt catches my eye and I find I no longer need Bettie to bitch at me...
This picture shows the shorter arm fitted - it wobbles less with the short arm fitted, and you can get it just about vertical - although even with the medium arm fitted, on gravel roads, the security has never been a concern.
If I remember correctly, the mount costs €80. Very nicely made and, best of all, fitting and removal is undetectable - the only permanent alterartion you need to make to your bike to fit this is to cut a gap in the plastic flange on the rear of the silver 'underscreen', to allow your cables to route unobtrusively to the unit.
Top tip - take your power take off from the sidelight circuit - that way you will minimise the amount of corrosion to the power contact on the sliding plug - but you can switch to parking lights if you want to use the unit for an extended period without running the engine...
Mike
many thanks. i take it, you use this option? any good? any issues?
