Sat Nav on a BMW c650 GT
Does anybody know the best way to mount a Garmin Nuvi on a BMW c650GT without drilling holes or banging in nails?

With so few in UK you're unlikely to find an owner around here, suggest you search for German/Eurpoean forums and use Google translate.

Re: Sat Nav on a BMW c650 GT
One of the panels is pre-prepared for a sat nav mount and there is an electric connection but it might not suit your model.

Yes Ram Mount on the brake reservoir cover. The wiring loom is already in the handlebars. Pause right at the beginning of this video

Re: Sat Nav on a BMW c650 GT
Morning Mike, I use the Ram Mount on the brake reservoir cover to fit my Tom Tom rider to the Max. Works very well, yes it is £21, but it seems well made, comes with loads of fitting bits and is supplied by return post. The power point on the Max is in the glove box but it as a small opening in the roof so the cable passes up through the handle bar cowling and comes out by the reservoir, so perfect.

The ram mount sounds like the best option. Where did you get yours from Spaceprobe?

Looked at the Ram mount on the internet and the problem is it has a 1" ball that is too big for my Garmin Nuvi 265 holder which has a cup measuring 2cm across.

I am surprised since the Garman and the Tom Tom use the same fittings, have you looked on the rest of their site to see what they have?boxer wrote:Looked at the Ram mount on the internet and the problem is it has a 1" ball that is too big for my Garmin Nuvi 265 holder which has a cup measuring 2cm across.
