Hypermotard GPS Mount
My wife got me a Garmin Zumo 550. Mounting it to the handle bars wasn't going to work.
So I came up with this idea.
First I cut the ball off the mount that came with the Zumo
Centered, drilled the ball and tapped it 5x0.8mm, and put it on a stud
Used it to replace the left tank cover screw
Everything clears it
And when the GPS is not gone, you don't notice.

you, my friend, are a genius!!!!! seriously, impressive mod/adaptation... I've been wanting to get a zumo for the hyper forever, and now, you just went and convinced me to do it, just to make that mod work. Thank you very much!!11
let us know how it works... is it hard to look at when you're riding since we sit so far forward on the hyper? dude, seriously, nice job!

Finished the GPS wiring tonight. I modified a waterproof cigarette lighter plug with the same plug size that Gerbing uses.
Installed it on the right inside fairing panel right below where the tool kit goes
Unplugged
Plugged in
Sealed against the weather when not in use.

Did 558 miles this weekend with the GPS installed. I was able to see it no problem, held fast. It seems like the mount works.

Looks very cool, do you have any problems with the handlebars hitting your gps unit at all?
