MarkEngland Posted July 26, 2012 Posted July 26, 2012 I have a Zumo 665LM and looking for options to mount between the handlebars (2009 RT). I do have a BMR Shelf, but prefer to mount lower. I do not want to mount on the left or right handle bar either. Thanks for the suggesions and help. Mark
Danny caddyshack Noonan Posted July 26, 2012 Posted July 26, 2012 right handle bar either. Not sure if this violates your criteria but, I've got a mount that comes off of one of the bar mount screws. Think it is a Ram that goes onto a tab coming off of one of the screws. The 665 then mates to the Ram mount through the Touratech bracket and the ball.
MarkEngland Posted July 26, 2012 Author Posted July 26, 2012 Sounds like what I might of had before. Got any PICs?? Thanks
bikebits Posted July 27, 2012 Posted July 27, 2012 There is a Ram mount that goes under the handlebar bolts. http://www.rammount.com/CatalogResults/PartDetails/tabid/63/partid/082065077045066045051054055085/Default.aspx
Danny caddyshack Noonan Posted July 27, 2012 Posted July 27, 2012 Kind of like that except the ball is an inch radially away from the bolt due to the short plate/tab.
Effjay Posted July 27, 2012 Posted July 27, 2012 Sounds like what I might of had before. Got any PICs?? Thanks I was delighted with the BMR shelf system on my former (shoulda kept it) R1200RT. Pictured below is the mount I used prior to going BMR, i.e., RAM-B-272U (shown in TT's catalog here) in combo with TT's bolt & spacer combo. Pics show interim chrome steel metric bolt before the above linked stainless TT kit was installed.
GRB60 Posted July 27, 2012 Posted July 27, 2012 I use one of these and like it: http://www.techmounts.com/products/index.php?page_function=detail&product_id=141
Nice n Easy Rider Posted July 27, 2012 Posted July 27, 2012 I use one of these and like it: http://www.techmounts.com/products/index.php?page_function=detail&product_id=141 + 1 on the Techmount. Below is what it looked like installed and my Zumo 550 mounted.
Firenailer Posted July 28, 2012 Posted July 28, 2012 I've been using the thru the bolt Ram mount and I like it alot. Nice and clean, and you can remove the whole mount easily when you don't need the GPS
MarkEngland Posted July 29, 2012 Author Posted July 29, 2012 Thanks, GRB60. I like this one. http://www.techmounts.com/products/index.php?page_function=detail&product_id=141
Effjay Posted July 30, 2012 Posted July 30, 2012 Thanks, GRB60. I like this one. http://www.techmounts.com/products/index.php?page_function=detail&product_id=141 Yes, Techmounts are nice gear. If you use a tank bag though, RAM parts like I showed a few days ago allows quick height adjustment to view the GPS screen over top of bag. Just say'n...
Tom Baker Posted July 30, 2012 Posted July 30, 2012 I'm using this one and really like it. http://www.wunderlichamerica.com/motorcycle/R1200RT/8600887-888.html
