PTT mount

[Fredrik]

Hi

I´m looking for some kind of bracket to mount my ptt button.I have 1200GS -07.Does enyone knows if there are a OEM bracket? .I have seen pictures of police bikes and i think they have ptt buttons mounted.The bike is still under warranty so i don´t want to do any modifications that can not be reverted.When i was riding my f650 the button was mounted around the handlebar but on the 1200gs there are buttons where the welcro used to wrap around.

The people who supply the police with their brackets etc are called Sonic Communications.

I got one for my sons Dakar and my GSA.

Not cheap, i think they were around £17.00 but they do fit nice.

Do you have a picture of the bracket.Maybe i can manufacture it my self

Hi Dean

Hope you are well.

I used an interide PTT with a sonic mount.

(Picks Sunday pm)

Pictures as promised.

Prices are

Handlebar Bracket Only – Dual Button. Price: @ £15.00 each +VAT

Handlebar Bracket Only – Single Button. Price: @ £12.00 each +VAT

Can be bought from http://www.sonic-comms.com email [email protected]

I think that the bracket looks good, i use the top switch holder for my LANC lead on my video camera.

Please note that this price is for the bracket only, they do however do one with s switch but that is around £60.00. I used my intaride switch.

Top post - I'd seen these on police bikes and wondered where you could get them from - searched net with no success.

One is now wending its way towards me

Worth noting that when I spoke to the guys at sonic communications they put me onto their supplier - Vehicle Developments in Andover. Helpful and friendly although I think they usually supply large quantities to the trade.

Going to try to cannibilise my slightly flimsy Autocom PTT unit & attach it to this instead.

Will do.

Off to Italy for a couple of weeks so will have to get fiddling when I get back (If the car makes it back)

Would have gone on the GS but being 20 weeks pregnant my wife didn't seem too keen

This is a great looking product - simple and effective! - Has anyone had a go at making their own and selling them a bit cheaper?!

Right, back from holiday & got the PTT mount attached - now off to Maplin's to see what they've got in terms of waterproof switches. Hope it's not going to rain too much today as no garage & soldering + rain = bad combination.

Wader - nice picture! I used to live in Orkney and there were very few signposts to Twatt - apparently they all used to get stolen by tourists! The rather unfortunate thing is that many people in Orkney have a surname relating to where their family came from - I always used to snigger when calling a "Mr. Twatt"

 

[ANTS]

Right - here it is....

Got simple push to contact non-locking switch from Maplin (they did a nicer one, but it needed a 15.5mm hole and the hole on the PTT mount is 14mm).

Dismantled the Autocom PTT unit , chopped the switches off the wires and simply soldered them to the switch. I was going to keep the 2-way switch for the vox/PTT/continually transmit function, but I couldn't find a decent waterproof switch to fit the mount so simply left it out (the blue wire in the lead is now attached to nothing). I only ever really use the PTT anyway.

Did you mean to add a picture?

sorry if im being a little retarded, but what is wrong with the autocom standard PTT mount.

Mines cable tied on just fine and I can press it easily with removing my hands from my winter covers.

Jon - yes I did mean to add a picture - sorry, I'm being a bit of a Luddite and I'm not sure why it won't show up - If you click the link though it will take you to the picture.

The reasons I wanted to replace my standard Autocom PTT unit were:

a). Felt a bit flimsy & I'm not convinced by the waterproofing.

b). Found it got in the way of where I like to hold the grip

Good looking bracket.
