Phooey Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Does anyone know where I can get a bracket to fit a satnav to my ZZR? All the brackets or holders that I have found fit around a tubular handlebar but of course the ZZR doesn't have a tubular handlebar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, is it really secure? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wr6133 Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 This looks good ... so does this just wrap around the yoke? If so, is it really secure? The straps go round the yokes, then sort of back on themselves and behind the pouch. They have uber strong Velcro on them so after going back on themselves and behind they are velcro-ing to themselves. I often have a large satnav and a phone wedged behind it in the pouch and it is secure. It's the best cheap option I've tried, the cheap versions of stem mounts on eBay are terrible and I'm too stingy/broke/miserly/welsh to get one of the expensive ones.

Phooey Posted March 18, 2015 Author Share Posted March 18, 2015 Cool. Thanks mate. Might be worth the £16 to give it a go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 is it a car satnav you are using? if so the waterproof case will probably be your best bet as theres not many mounts out there for car satnav's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tango Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 I've got a Givi velcro'd holder somewhere.......trouble is that it steamed up in rain, so I couldn't see the screen......the clear plastic window is a bit too reflective also.......so I gave up with it and got the hard case I've got on the bike now, which has an antiglare window and less airgap to reduce the steaming up......

Phooey Posted March 18, 2015 Author Share Posted March 18, 2015 Yes, Stu, I intend to use a TomTom One. Would love a dedicated bike satnav but can't afford the £300 price tag for a decent one.Tango, I won't be using it much in the rain or damp weather so steaming up shouldn't be an issue but the glare might.

Stu Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 have a look about on ebay you can get a rider cheap these days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tango Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Yeah......just pointing out some things to consider mate........shielding the window to stop the glare on the holder with one hand while riding isn't great....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phooey Posted March 18, 2015 Author Share Posted March 18, 2015 (edited) l already did, Stu. Looking at between £250 and £300 for a TomTom Rider. Just spent £200 on my Givi box. Money is a little tight so I have do cheap as at the moment. Edited March 18, 2015 by Phooey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phooey Posted March 18, 2015 Author Share Posted March 18, 2015 What are you using now, Tango? Is there something I can get on flee bay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 look for a second hand one I got one for £100 about 8 years ago and its been great does everything I need it to and more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 stick zumo 550 into eBay search.. these are still supported and are rather good. because they're a few years old they turn up regularly at very reasonable prices. because some bikers mentioning no names and definitely not looking in the mirror.. think that latest is always bestest.look hard enough.. or be patient enough and you'll get all the hardware you need. powered mount etc. finding a specific mount for your bike will be a doddle. theres all sorts out there.

Phooey Posted March 18, 2015 Author Share Posted March 18, 2015 Ok, so I think I will get a cheap £15 case from fleabay and use the TomTom One until I find something that I can afford. Birthday isn't too far away so maybe a few sweet talks to OH will get me a nice birthday prezzie.In the meantime I will use a spare power cable I have for the TomTom and wire into the bike. (Will need satnav to get to the cafe in April. Assuming weather holds out.) I am thinking wire directly to the battery with a fuse spliced in the live cable. What size fuse do you think? 5A be enough? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 if your wiring in a cig lighter charger make sure you leave all the internals intact as the out put is different to you bikes power sticking 12v (14 charging) will blow your sat nav up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to cut the plug off and wire straight in. lolSo keep the cable intact and just wire a socket from the battery with an inline fuse?Begining to think I am too thick to be doing my own mods ... lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phooey Posted March 18, 2015 Author Share Posted March 18, 2015 Or perhaps use something like this?http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hardwire-Bare ... 3cf1d3679c Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 yes something like that or fit a cig lighter socket did I just save your sat nav from death if you look on the charger it will tell you what voltage and amps it puts out probably 5v @ 1amp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phooey Posted March 18, 2015 Author Share Posted March 18, 2015 lol you certainly did, mate. I would have fried the poor f*cker on its first outing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
