I have looked at the photo albums and see that a few of you have mounted your GPS under the screen and a very nice job you have all made of it too. A good example is Big Stripys' modification here:

http://www.triumphrat.net/modules.ph...view_photo.php

I am trying to do the same thing but can't come up with a finished article that I would be happy with.

Do any of you who have done this modification have any drawings or instructions you could share with me please?

Hi there,

My installation has evolved into what you see in the pictures.

Basically it is all done with R.A.M. mounts.

The base mount is this one clicky This was secured to the fairing using stainless allen bolts and nylock nuts

Then i have two connector arms clicky to give the unit some articulation which allows the GPS to sit above the gauges and idiot lights and as far out of the weather as possible.

The Garmin GPS has got this base plate clicky
to complete the install. This is bolted to the cradle that the Streetpilot sits in.

The last modification that i made was to remove the stick antenna, and mount the flat pod aerial behind the lower part of the screen at the front. This allows the GPS to be mounted a lot closer behind the screen.

Hope this helps ?

Sye,

I am using a Garmin Quest on my tiger.

I have attached a cross bar to my handlebars which I got from Triumph Tiger on line.

The Garmin Quest attaches to the cross bar using a standard Garmin bicycle mount.

The entire setup was cheap and I can swap the Quest to the mountain bike quickly.
