Is that cruise control you've got on your bike?

Mine looks a little different as I fitted one of these so that it would still be on the bike after I had an olympic breakfast

Think there's a V2 out now

Didn't realise they'd done one for the 660 - Had the Touratech for my Quest.  Nice bit of kit, but could still be bent if you were determined.  Good kit though

How are you going to use it on the bike?
I'm going to modify (beef up) the supplied mount or make my own and just use it with earphones.
I may put it into a little amp with 2 audio outs and individual volume controls so the wife can hear the music too.

You getting one Nygie? that waterproof case would be good for a cheap GPS solution

Looking at the dimensions, my 5" nav would just fit BUT there would be no room for connectors.
Ram mounts do an Aquabox which has internals of at least 8 inch, which would be ideal, would be a good system. It's a hard box that connects to any RAM mount and has a clear membrane allowing use of touchscreen (not iphone tho). £50 quid tho plus the RAM mount base and arm. Not a bad solution tho!

Ok Chaps, after 3 pages and many reviews, a few weeks of looking about and asking the blokes at work, AND E mails from some of you I have just ordered the Zumo 660 from an online site for a total of £382 inc VAT and next day delivery. Full Europe maps etc ... The GTR is in for a service next week so I shall get the K Sat Nav bracket fitted at the same time .... " What ? " I can hear some of you scream..... I have no doubt it's very simple but nuts and bolts and technical stuff is not for me so the dealer can wire it all in and I shall just have to sign on the dotted line.
I'll let you know how I get on with it all ... quite excited to be honest !
Ps..... thank you for all your inputs and suggestions.

Rusty, that seems a damn good price for the 660, unless its knocked off of course ;D

bloody 'ell £382...thats an absolute bargain ...where's that from??  ;D
It's not a case of whether we can fix it or not - it's more a case of how fixed would you like it?

No No chaps... good stuff is here for all of us to share !! .....Just Google " Satnaveasy " ... I found them when looking for reviews on the 660 .... £382.55 was the total bill... ordered it last night at about half ten, just had an E mail to say it's in the post ! It's usually over the £430 mark from what I have seen so as you all agree this is a good price .. take a look at the site, they do a load of Sat Nav stuff.
