Just out of interest, where do members mount there sat nav ?#

I have a Garmin Zumo 660 and its mounted in the center over the steering yoke.  However I find this too low and out of my close line of sight.

I'm thinking about mounting it on one of the lever bolt locations so higher up.

What thoughts have you ?

Mr Snake, I have mine mounted where you currently have yours, no issues at all. I'm 5'11", if that makes a difference.

I use the Kawasaki mount which is very good...solid, safe, and in the right position for me, but its a matter of personal choice   :yes:

Ditto (maybe a tad low) but its fine - you get used to it.

Also keeps it out of the worst of the weather.

Mine is also a zumo 660 mounted in the middle - with extended 2 inch ram mount. This brings it even higher up if required - simple adjustment once installed. Im 6 "10.

i use a centre yolk mount with a 2 inch extended ram arm as i found the sat nav just too low, now its just under my clocks in my eye line sight and perfect


the angle of the pic shows the sat nav blocking the clocks, but once on the bike its perfectly positioned

Yeah at the end of the day its just a visual reference, it's not like your'e looking at it constantly. Even better if you have Autocom fitted, (which I dont), you just listen to the prompts, dont ever really need to look at it.

Debs, I love what you have there. But at $140 for two, they are taking the piss, whats that about £80.

That is where I want mine up at that level, I don't like it down on the yoke.

I could have Garmin one side and camera the other

I like that mount Debs, but wish they would do one with the ramball only on the outside. would like one of those for mounting a camera. dont need the other one
