Navigation » Moto-Mate SatNav mount fitted

First mod on my recently acquired R1250RS.
Nice bit of kit with easy to follow instructions - well worth the money
Hardest part for me was refitting the fiddly little rubber cable ties back on getting my hands down into the gap to fasten the ends together.
Have fitted the SatNav holder for now, but still thinking of getting a waterproof holder for an old phone I have as I don't have a Navi V or V1 SatNav.

Question - is it easy to remove / disconnect the mount from the bikes wiring system if I don't want to keep it on the bike

I don't know why I waited 3 years to move the GPS. BMW had me nearly looking in my lap to read the thing. I got a Moto-Mate kit for my 2018 from a fellow forum member. That was a swift and pleasant transaction. The bracket looks to be very well made. It's the sort of accessory you're proud to have on your bike. Installation took all of 40 minute and was very easy to do. I haven't had a chance for a ride with it moved but just sitting on the bike in the garage the GPS now falls easily in sight. I think it was money well spent.20220225_163656.jpg - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte)20220225_163709.jpg - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte)20220225_165807.jpg - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte)20220225_165818.jpg - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte)

Bit late to the party but....

Acquired, and fitted, my Moto Mate last September before buggering off up North to ride the NC500.

Brilliant bit of kit and, as said before by many, is great quality, easy to fit and looks like it was there from the factory. I have my BMW cradle and Nav 5 fixed to it at the moment but am toying with moving my Quad lock up onto it as the Nav is having a couple of tantrums (probably me tbf).

In answer to the question above, there is a plug behind the right hand fairing, with cable ties holding the supply cabling to the loom. Its a tight squeeze to get to but much easier with the fairing off...especially re-tie wrapping the plug to the bracket once you've re routed the cable. There is plenty of cable btw 👍

Just a quick question for anyone with a Moto-Mate on the R1250RS:

Is there sufficient clearance between the OEM windscreen and the nav cradle when the screen is in the lowest of it's 4 positions?
(Yes there are 4 positions if you look carefully at the holes for the screen mounting screws).

I was considering one of these mounts, but as I normally prefer the screen in the lowest possible position, I was concerned that it may not be possible to adjust to an optimal viewing angle.

I just ordered one of these yesterday and am waiting for delivery. Once it's installed I'm happy to put my OEM screen back on to verify clearance. I'll post up here once it's done.

I fitted one recently and asked the retailer whether there were any screens that interfered and he said he’d never had one returned for screen interference having sold over 500. So o think you’ll be OK.

My screen interferes slightly when on the low setting, but I very rarely use it in this position. So not a problem.

With the screen in the lowest position you do have to angle the nav slightly so I would say it isn't the "optimal" viewing angle but it certainly isn't a problem.
