ZUMO mount for a Hypermotard - Ducati.ms

I am looling for a neat and clean looking mount to put a ZUMO on my Hypermotard. Does anyone know of maybe one that will bolt onto the handlebar mount 4 bolts maybe?

I like the RAM mounts, a u-bolt to wherever you like on the bar and then you cat the arms/adapters for everything you could possibly want to mount up front.

If RAM makes a cradle for it, get the RAM mount with the short arm. All that stays on the bike when you don't need it is the ball clamped to the bars. I don't have a Zumo but did this with a Nuvi and its great. With the short arm and ball mounted on the bars to the left of the clamp, the unit sits just about center but can be adjusted. When you stop for food or a hotel it comes off in seconds. I also wired in a supply to the system.

Try www.gadgetguy.net/

The website takes some studying to figger out what you need and the mounts are a bit pricey, but you can't beat the quality and looks.

Btw, I have my gps on a ram mount and it works fine, but I lust after the bling of a gadget guy mount.

Thanks. The gadget guy looks promising but I did not see a ZUMO mount plate so will have to shoot him a e-mail and see.

Darn, I wish I had seen this earlier. I just ordered the RAM mount stuff for my newly acquired HYM. Finding this stuff for BMW's was a lot easier.

Did you wire it to activate with the key, or is it powered directly off the battery all the time?

Wired it directly. You can always sell the RAM stuff or use it for a radar detector... I use a ram ball mount and Ztechnik platform mount for my V1 off the left handlebar.

Techmount Mini Handlebar mount for 1 1/8" bars. If you're mounting it to the outside of the handlebar clamp you'll need to ask Techmount to shave the mount slightly, since the Hyper bars taper a little. I had a Ram mount on my BMW and the Techmount is much nicer.

Here's a pic. I've since rearranged the mount so the Zumo sits much closer to the bars. It also wont' interfere with the bar mounted rotary steering damper, like the Scotts I have on my Hyper. Doesn't cover the instrument cluster either.

I guess this mount will not work with the Scott's sub stabilizer mount?
