Brimoon Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 Has anyone found a good solution to mounting a Garmin 276C on the new R1200RT? I'd be particularly intersted in a mount that would allow me to use the BMW tankbag at the same time. The RCU accessory shelf for the 12RT seems like a possible solution, but I'm concerned that GPS would be so high as to interfear with the windshield when it is lowered or it would be too much in my normal line-of-sight. Any suggestions will be appreciated! Thanks, Brian Mullins Link to comment
beammeup Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 I believe the bolt pattern on the handlebars is the same as on the 1150, meaning a handlebar bracket mount for an 1150 ought to work. Anyone know for sure one way or the other? I have used the handlebar bracket with a 276 on my 1150 for years and like it very much. Not a good option for a Big Mak style back, however, as it will get in the way of the bag when you flip it up. Link to comment
David_S Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 If your talking about the BMW mount that goes between the handlebars I'm running an 1150RT mount on my 1200RT. Link to comment
2wheeler Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 I saw a beatiful mount from a company in the UK. It mounts it up high (like where my gadgetguy mount is). I just searched and found it on another site, www.adventuresworkshop.com. It's called the 1200RT mount. Check it out. Link to comment
BakersRT Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 Is there a mirror hole on the 1200 as there is on the 1150? Link to comment
David_S Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 Yes though the left side is a bit smaller than the right side. Just small enough that a mirror has to be screwed into it rather than just placed into it like the right side. Link to comment
BakersRT Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 [/img] I used an old mirror off my R1150R, sawed the mirror off, drilled and tapped it then installed a ram ball. Used the mirror hole on my 04 RT. I use a big mac tank bag(smaller one). I have to turn my bars to the right in order for the bag to clear. If you are interested, let me know and I can take and send you more pics. I went this route as with the mirror hole ball you can purchase, the left mirror was blocked. This arrangement puts my 276C in between the mirror and the speedo. Link to comment
roadshadowww Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 Take a look at BMR products shelf for the 12RT you'll need to e-mail them for a photo it's to be released very very soon. I had a BMR on my 04 RT, much better than the RCU item which I took off and gave away at the Spokane Rally when the BMR was installed. Link to comment
