Dans08 Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 I have a Garmin 2610 and would like to mount it on my R1150RT. I will also be using a locking cradle for the GPS unit similar to if not most likely the MvG locking mount for Touratech. http://www.touratech-usa.com/shop/show.lasso?SKU=065-0064&-session=touratech:D8FFAB6B0a35114BBEiuy11EA18C I need to find a way to mount this and I don't think I want to use a shelf plate. What options do I have? Dan Link to comment
Bill_Walker Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 The absolute best option, in my opinion, is the Gadget Guy mount. Pricey, but worth it. My bike originally had the standard BMW fork-top mount for the Navigator II (Garmin 2610, basically). I didn't like this because I had to look down too far to see it, and it got in the way of flipping my tank bag up for fill-ups. I tried a BMR shelf. This put the GPS too close for me to read with my graduated-lens glasses. And it vibrated a lot. Now I have the GG mount and I'm a happy camper. I won't say it doesn't vibrate, but it's rarely so much that I can't see what I need to see. And it puts the unit very close to the windshield. Link to comment
Armando Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Dans08, I had my Zumo installed with a mix of RAM arms and mount. It cluttered my handlebars to the point of getting me pissed off and so I did a search on ebay and came up with a GadgetGuy mount on sale from BMW Motorcycles of North County. Rather than buying through ebay, I gave them a call at 760-520-1288 and had it shipped. The mount was 89 plus 12 for S&H. I ordered a couple other items to make the most of the S&H. The mount is rock solid, no noticeable vibration. I believe they had at least 1 more mount so you may want to give them a call. a Link to comment

wbrissette Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 You might also consider the Migsel mount. http://www.migsel.com/store/index.php?act=viewProd&productId=14 You can get these in the US through Cycle Gagets. Wayne Link to comment
JR356 Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Hi, Might want to consider the non MVG mount. Some feel there is too much movement with the MVG cushions, especially with heavier units,such as the 2xxx series. JR356 Link to comment
