Default Mounting a GPS system

Hi guys after buying a TomTom rider for my bikes I was at a loss as to where to mount it safely and out of the way.

Well heres the answer:
http://www.telferizer.com/

They are not that cheap but well made and it really does work.
They guy is a real gent and will help you anyway he can.
If your bike is not mentioned in the list like my ZX12R then call him and he will make a custom one to suit.

This is what i got in my kit.
Obviously not the tomtom but a knob bracket for the back of the holder the arm and the custom one for the Zx and the knob for the R1 which is fitted.


Knob fitted to the R1, it goes down the hole in the top yolk and tightens up.

I know the nut is knackered but I will get a new one ha ha
arm fitted


Sat nav fitted to bike





I know it looks like it covers all the clocks but here is a view you would look at in a normal riding position


Clocks speedo are all visable.

I paid £70 for all the kit but it is well worth it.
All I need now is another power lead for so both bikees have one fitted

Shame that "clamping arm" isn't a little bit shorter it would bring the whole unit closer to the yoke! But, I want one!!!!

I know it looks big and covers everything but to be fair it is not as bad as it looks

Great post!!

Was going to resort to a cheap satnav to pop in my pocket for reference when i stop.

Suppose now i'll have to fork out for a TomTom Rider.

Had an old TomTom ONE sitting around so used some ram parts and half a brodit mount to fit it! It sits really low, and doesn't obscure the instruments! Ram parts from www.gpsw.co.uk for a cost of £31.91 inc 24 hour delivery!!

Part numbers for those interested are... Stem mount B-342, Arm B-201A, Plate B-238. (I had a spare Brodit mount, but have seen these on Ebay for about £12)
