Found this while geeking around   http://www.videojug.com/film/how-to-adapt--mount-a-car-...motorcycle   He also did a camera mount too.   http://www.videojug.com/film/how-to-make-a-cheap-motorc...mera-mount                                                                                                                                                                             

I like the simplicity, but I'd be uncomfortable about losing a mirror. I take it the video is from the US in view of the guy's accent, in which case he's using his offside mirror - even worse!

And haven't you got better things to do at 2.26 in the morning?                                                                                                                                                                             

interesting geeking PP! but I wouldnt want to sacrifice a mirror either! has anyone fitted a zumo to an R1? dont know where the best place to put it is?                                                                                                                                                                             

I'd puy it in view of the rider for best results. Applies to most bikes including an R1. Happy mounting                                                                                                                                                                              

What happened to the ray-gun you were makin phill? has the project been shelved?                                                                                                                                                                              

can I get a ray gun too? I`d swap the mirrors for some ray guns!                                                                                                                                                                             

Julie, best place to mount your zumo is on the top of the headstock as I've done with Rach's CBR.

To do this you need to speak to these people; www.telferizer.com

Basically it's just a ram ball mounted onto an expanding rubber sleeve.  You pop the plastic cover off the top of your headstock, drop the telferizer into it and then twist it until it expands enough to grip properly ... shimples!                                                                                                                                                                             

I use a Givi Sat nav bag to put my car Tom Tom sat nav in. Just had to fit a 12v socket under blackbird seat to plug sat nav into.
                                                                                                                                                                             

cheers Geoff, dont think the one ive got on the honda is suitable so will have a look at that, never really looked at Rachs closely.                                                                                                                                                                             

The ray gun. I had a bit of difficulty removing the laser out of its housing. I have just liberated a couple more from the bin at work so will have another go tomorrow. for those of you who are interested   www.videojug.com/film/how-to-make-a-burning-laser-flashlight                                                                                                                                                                             

I put a car GPS in a clear sandwich box that was attached to the handlebars with tie wraps.  See the pic of my bike in my profile pictures.  Simple and cheap but it worked.                                                                                                                                                                              

Don't think i'd trust a £200 satnav velcoed to a mirror Tbh.   I bought a dedicated bracket from www.gpsw.co.uk for my TomTom car unit and then put a 12v cigarette socket to the battery, which works very well, only problem is you can't hear the instructions as it's not blue tooth enabled.   Also try here: http://www.expansys.com and here: http://www.sportouring.com/gallery.php?sectionHeaderAct...hoosen=241     Mines like this one with the head bracket attached   and bolted to the fairing stay on the SP http://www.sportouring.com/itemImages/image/ram-b-149-l...-large.jpg                                                                                                                                                                             

I fitted my Zumo 660 to my beemer via a headstock ram ball fitting, custom made by  www.telferizer.com.
I wouldn't trust my sat nav to a velcro mounting at any cost. It was used for two weeks on the euro tour last year, never moved and it was easily visible while riding.

                                                                                                                                                                             

the easiest way ive found is a oxford one tank bag or any multi layer tank bag with clear map pocket with a £2 earpiece that fits snug over the earlobe .... on my zx there is pockets in the fairing where i have fitted a waterproof accessory socket which comes in handy for charging the phone as well

^^^^^ similar to Nellie,   I have only an old £40 PDA but it's running tomtom 6 europe.. the placement is not ideal (it's in the top of tankbag).. I use some noise blocker bud earphones, and an added benefit is I get music from the pda, until the satnav cuts in..   works well :) - really made long straight journeys a lot more pleasant :)   I also fitted 2 marine 12V cig lighter sockets into the fairing..
