GPS Mount For Honda Silverwing and Reflex

First topic message reminder :

GPS Mount – Designed to give ease of installation and maximum strength, holding your electrical devices (GPS, IPod, Cell Phone, and Cameras) in a location that provides the best visibility, and sound quality while moving down the road.

Requires the purchase of RAM Mount 1” Ball P/N RAM-B-236U. I provide the Stainless Steel Flat Washer and Nut to install the Ram Ball.

Ram Ball information: http://www.ram-mount.com/CatalogResults/PartDetails/tabid/63/partid/082065077045066045050051054085/Default.aspx

(Do a little shopping, you can find RAM-B-236U for a better price and at a lower shipping cost).

Price for the Custom Honda Silverwing/Reflex GPS Mount is $37.00 USD and shipping is $4.50 USD (USPS First Class Mail to any where in the world).

If your interested in purchasing a GPS mount for your Honda scooter: dennis.berney@gmail.com or send a PM through this forum.







If you have difficulty buying RAM products in your country, just let me know and I will buy what you need and send it along with my Silverwing mount. This might mean a higher shipping cost internationally.

Thank You

I received my mounting hardware and Electrical plug from Dennis yesterday. I'm just waiting for the Ram components to arrive and I'll be good to go. Kudos to Dennis for all his help.

Dennis makes some fine products. Everything I have seen from him is top quality.

I installed my DennisB GPS mount this weekend. I took a few "under the hood" photos while hooking everything up. GPS installation is a link to my photobucket album. The photos there are much larger than I can post in my album here.

Two words of warning:

1. Make sure you know exactly what model your GPS is. I knew I had a Garmin Nuvi 260. What I did not realize is that I own a 260W. Of course, the mounting brackets are different. Even though the installation is done, I cannot mount the GPS until the new bracket gets here on Wednesday or Thursday.

2. When you mount the Dennis' GPS bracket, make damn certain that the RH storage bin is in place and not open like this photo shows. You drop one of the handlebar cover spacers down there, it'll drop all the way to the bottom of the fairing and it'll be a real bitch to get out!

Thanks for sharing Gyro. I plan on ding something like that also. I have the Dennisb GPS mount installed but haven't hooked up the usb power yet. Where did you tap into for the power?

My guess is the headlight as that is on only with the ignition.

Cheers,

Hmmm, I could swear I replied to this earlier.....

Use the DennisB headlamp connector with pigtail leads. It comes with crimp-on bullet connectors that attach to the bare ends of the power supply lead wires. The connector plugs in between the headlamp power socket and power plug. That's the tan colored socket at the top of the photo.

Thanks Gyro. If you answered this previously I missed it or forgot I read it.
Getting older has this effect on me!

Naaah, I did something wrong, or the forum hiccupped and it didn't post.

I've completed my DennisB GPS installation!



I immediately noticed the same problem others have mentioned - Glare! I'm going to order the Glare-Stomper, but I'm wondering if anyone has tried the Lexerd, or other similar brands, anti-glare screen along with the Glare-Stomper shade?

Addenum: I see the Lexerd advertised as an anti-glare screen protector, but all the reviews mention only the protection aspects. Still, probably a good thing to add for a GPS screen exposed to the elements.
