I am trying to remember how i mounted on on my K1200GT.
It was neat. I will dig up some pictures when i get back home next week.

Degsey,

I have the BM one that fits on the underside of the bars, puts the satnav screen in a line between the bar ends IYSWIM.

Just visible in this library pic (NB the bike has a bar riser on it)

It needs 4 screws (M6 IIRC) - £10 posted.

Can you mount a nav iv to it

BMW Do One

Hi Degsey,
BMW do a simple (and cheap) one that fits in place of the plastic cover over the captive nuts for the handlebar height adjustment. It puts the sat-nav between the two bars.
I have one fitted to my K1300GT and it's an easy option - although I prefer the sat nav mounted a bit higher - ie above the speedo as it is on my R1150GS.
I can send a pic if thats any help?

Cheers.....................Grizzly

OOPS!.................MY TYPING IS WAY TOO SLOW!!!

 

[andysdad]

Blimey, busy post this one.

Grizzly's sounds like the one I have on my K and the spare I'm selling. It has the c.2" square of 4 holes that most kit mounts to, including my ancient NavIII.

Cheers what's plug do you chaps use for the power

 

[andysdad]

Straight off the battery as it is 6" away!

There is a spare factory connector there if you want, used on California models for a smog canister. IIRC it is ignition switched.

HTH.

[Grizzly]

Yep That's The One

I use a Garmin Zumo 350 and had to drill extra holes in the BMW bracket so the Garmin powered mount would sit centrally on the bike - no real hardship though - I think you could fit any sat nav mount to the BMW bracket fairly easily

For power, I used the Canbus socket that's meant for sat nav - it's stashed away to the front/right of the battery with a blanking plug in the socket - but you need the special plug and cable tails from BMW etc.

[degsey]

So they do not have an accessory socket

 

[andysdad]

There's a 12V socket by the gear lever but I believe they refer to the spare lead by the headstock as an accessory socket; you'll need the right connector to use it. I'll do more digging to confirm my recollection!

BTW more images of the bracket here. (Slant K1200GT is same as K1300GT).

[degsey]

One of those will be perfect for me

I've had a quick look under the headstock I can't see anything

My nav 5 holder has the BM plug on it

 

[andysdad]

Found it - shows K1200GT but the same.

Sold?

Did you see my PM?

A

 

[degsey]

Yes I did I'll just take to nav holder for NOW

 

[Grizzly]

Yep, that's the socket I used - beside the battery - it takes a bit of finding!

Loads of info there now for Degsey - well done A

Somebody mentioned the good will has gone from the site, I don't think so

I may well be about to trade in my K1200. It has the mount and cable for a Garmin Zumo 550. I could remove it fairly easily, I'm sure.

Unless I can find a way to make it fit my F700GS, I wont need it any more. Let me know.
