Hi Grant,

Apologies, yes the 1250 arrived last week and the 1200 mounts arrived today so all available from stock

Quick question, is the mount fully adjustable for tilt, etc. and does it get in the way of the screen in the fully down position

Hi Mattblack,

The screen can still be used in both positions and the cradle can be tilted in the holder.

You can see images of the nav VI in it's cradle and the screen in both positions here: https://moto-mate.com/shop/bmw-gps-mount...or-bmw-r1250rs/

Does it include Covid 19 virus? Better boil it first![/quote]

I stick parcels in quarantine in the spare bedroom for at least a week. I've only just opened the case of wine delivered 10 days ago. [/quote]



Sod sticking in quarantine for a week, I'm up for exciting parcels and time in the garage!

Fitted my new Moto Mate sat nav cradle bracket today, easy to fit with clear instructions and the nav is now in a much better position. Thanks Phil.

Your welcome Nick

Hi can you tell me if the wiring to the cradle is long enough to reach the new position or do they need lengthened
Thanks in advance

Hi Scabo,

The cable on the 1200 is easily long enough.

the 1250 has longer arms and the cable is still long enough to allow you to tuck the cable behind the TFT on the right but it is snu. In the instruction I recommend removing all the rubber ties to ensure you get as much free cable as possible just to make it easier.

Regards

Phil

After a few PM's with Phil, I received my Moto-Mate mount today, together with my HP reservoir covers (yes, I know, it's pointless bling and I could have bought lots of fuel, but actually I love them compared to the ABS standard ones). Have just had a very enjoyable couple of quiet hours fitting the new bits and the re-siting my SP Connect phone holder.

The photo below is rubbish, taken at night on my iPad because I wanted to have the phone in shot, and I shot it using slo-mo video just because I felt it necessary to have both the RS logo on the TFT and the Motorrad app splash screen on the phone in shot. Yes, I'm a t*at - anyway, it took a while and isn't perfect but it's nearly there. I'll probably do another pic tomorrow.

The mount is excellent, pretty straightforward to fit and really adds to the Nav's usability and safety. Obviously not ridden with it yet but I think it will be rock solid. The position is a MASSIVE improvement; trying to check a route (particularly if wearing a full face helmet) by staring between the handlebars frankly doesn't do it for me. If the fitting of the mount diminishes my chance of a SMIDSY by even 5% the (very reasonable) cost is paltry; actually I figure the % would be significantly higher than that. The BMW standard mount location is utterly f**king daft.

Also - prior to buying, when I looked at other photos on the web I was a bit concerned the Nav screen was off centre by comparison - it's really not, at least not in any noticeable way and I'm a fussy f**ker when it comes to that sort of stuff. My photo's bad for looking at that because it's off taken from off to the left, so ignore it for that purpose.

And another big benefit? I can finally see that lovely blue and white roundel in the middle of the bars. As I say - the standard mount location makes no f'ing sense on any level!

Crappy photo below. I now have a self-congratulatory whiskey in hand :) Night all.
