TT GPS Mounting Bracket fit?

Hi there,

Just curious as to whether anyone has had any experience trying to mount a touratech GPS cradle ( specifically the Garmin 60 series one ) on the existing above dashboard rail? Will it fit without hitting the windshield? Or is an extension of sorts required?

You do need one of those: http://www.touratech.com/shops/001/p...oducts_id=5780

Then it's no problem to fit a TT GPS mount. I have done that with the TwoNav Aventure cradle from TT.

Like this ?







Made from sheet alloy, using the two pipe clamps that come with the TT bracket.

You can buy a RAM mount, but the 13mm collet they provice sucks, mainly because the bar is 12.xm diameter!

Looks like I'll have to pick me up one of those extensions too!

This is the bracket: http://www.touratech.com/shops/008/p...baccd70fee8f91

Just curious, what else do I need to mount/connect if from the TT website? My strengths do not lie in GPS mounting I'm afraid so am unfamiliar which power cord set/RAM mount I need to mount it onto the extension.

So far it seems I need:

(1) TT Gps lockable mounting bracket
(2) A Power cord ( is this included with the mounting bracket )
(3) Mounting bar extension
(4) RAM/other mount for the bracket ( no idea which one )

Many thanks! And bless touratech for their wallet busting....

If I were you, I'd fit this unit to the crossbar, rather than making it fit to the GPS bar.

Hi penzancenewlyn,

Actually you only need three of these things.

(1) the Touratech lockable mountig bracket
(2) the Touratech mounting bar extension for the T�n�r�
(3) and a power cord, something like this (click me)

you could use this power cord and strip it down and connect it somewhere to your bike's electrical system. so you only get fuse when you're bike is actually running. if you're not into the mechanical stuff, get it done by a mechanic.

Cheers!

Ah! Brilliant, so the lockable mounting bracket can connect straight to the extension?

Think I will let a dealer have a go at hard wiring, will no doubt permanently immobilise the bike if I do it. Need it nice and neat too...

Cheers
