Hi
I mounted my Zummo 550 to a bar between the dash just under the screen, it works a treat !!

I also made up a bar and got a local firm to weld on the mounts (Don't forget to drill a tiny hole somewhere to let the air out when welding)
In use it works well with my 2820, unit is perfect for the eyeline, don't obscure clocks or foul tank-bag.

I fitted mine to the narrow bit of the left hand handlebar. In Ianboydsnr's pic it is about where that cable loops around the bar.
The U-bolt which was supplied with the Zumo was too short - I bent a length of 6mm threaded bar round a broom stick and used that.

Hi Dave,
here is my setup, I purchased the mount from Horning,
I think it was around £50, however it is superb as it puts the GPS just where I need it!,

Here you go,
Mount was made from mild steel tubing and sheet, (for the end tangs) all was cut and drilled before welding, once welded up the tangs require a slight twist to get them square to the mounting point, when finished and test fitted it was painted satin black, longer stainless fixings used and rubber washers.
You can of course turn it up the other way if you need it higher for the zumo mount as in the pic above

dumb question , but do you set it up with the screen up or down , first couple of rides on my rt , brilliant ,should have brought one ages ago
where do you get the carbon piece,that goes inbtween the handlebars, and stops scracthing from the keys,as mine de[arted down the m11 on saturday
theres a firm based in Mallory Park,as in the race circuit that do them but I cant find there name at the mo
Theres one on ebay now, a bit pricey though! and feedback a bit dodgy

or you can buy an A4 sheet of the black sticky stuff and cut your own which is about £7 from Motrax

the ram part No is RAM-B-367u(SKU 6011) they are about a tenner from buybits
