Sat Nav Mounting

[Raven]

Hi Guys

Just bought a Garmin 590LM for the GTR what's the best way to mount it???

Also looking to get a radiator guard what's your thoughts on the one pictured

Many Thanks
Raven

My sat navigation is on a Ram mount on the clutch lever. Doesn't obscure clocks or mirror and means I can prod the screen with left hand whilst keeping t'other hand on the throttle.

Radiator guard looks good, btw.

Cheers

My satnav mounted between bars on RAM ball mount. I still have a clear view of clocks/gauges.

I fitted mine there first, then found I couldn't see it when I fitted the tank bag

I bought that Kawasaki mount fits perfectly

I fitted this onto the Kawasaki mount it's the lockable motorrad one a bit dear but being lockable stops the opportunist tleaf when filling up

Thanks guys

A few options then. best is to wait until it arrives and then I can see what best for me

Another question is there a dedicated power supply for the sat nav??

Thanks Raven

Yep under the near side cubbyhole you will find a rubber boot over the wiring in there are two spare bullet connectors wire to theses and it powers on and off with the ignition. There is also two under the seat Do a search on here you will find a write up and pictures 

That's how I wired in my garmin easy Peasy I can't recall the bullet sizes I just crimped the opposite ends to the garmin wiring

You'll need to fold the rubber boot back like a cuff, the connectors are obvious but on a short piece of wire.
Black wire with female connector is switched live, black with yellow trace and male connector is earth.
Japanese bullet connectors are 3.9mm

Fitted the sat nav yesterday. it wasn't to bad to do using the connections as suggested 

Placed it in a few places before deciding to go with the left handlebar mount. I liked the look of it between the handlebars but didn't like the way you needed to look down to see the screen.

Each to their own I suppose

I believe it's a RAM-B-309-1U.

It was the one that came in the kit, you can buy one direct from Garmin
