I have a Garmin Zumo XT, looking to mount on the AT as a dedicated GPS. Any recommendations on what mount to get in order to mount on top of the TFT? I read the Touratech GPS mount is only for the AT AS model, i have the standard model. Any recommendations are welcome.

Good quad, before I had a Honda Rubicon and actually I'd liked that one better, but my Can-Am carries a passenger seat which my wife likes, ( she won't ride bikes not even as passenger ) so I have the bike for myself🤫😁

To be fair that looks good. For me the standard Zumo mount looks weak and concerned it would just fall out

I just cannot stop loving this cockpit view with my touratech mount installed, and wired through the usb connector, works perfectly !😷 View attachment 68375

Can u explain a bit regarding what exactly u wired to inside the usb ? Did u pop the cowling off and wire to the power wire that’s used for the usb behind the cowling ?

Do u by any chance have any pictures of info on when u did it ?

Very easy ! I just to a usb 2.0 cable and put it into the corresponding usb connections on the AT and the Zumo and it worked perfectly, eventually I will make an fixed installation with the power cable but that is a bigger job.

Oh so are u just constantly using the usb connector ?

could a 12v socket be used if I have one ?

Correct, and it works fine for me but as I say eventually I will make a fixed installation when I take apart the front coils to get access to the hidden connector. It will work with the 12v socket as well

Where / what is this hidden connector ppl speak of ?
Is it under the front cowling that covers the tft screen and electrical connecters like the usb ?

Ref USB i dont think so , would i be right in saying the voltage isnt right ? Only reason i say that is that it wouldn’t charge my Garmin when i tried it.
With a Honda Tank Bag there is full visual of the Nav. I believe its 8 L bag. If it were bigger like expanding tank bag it would cover the nav but a non expandable bag would work.

for me having Nav in its current location makes it really easy to data input whilst on the move without having to lean forward.

picture one is my rider view of the Garmin

Cable is switched Power , eg ign off and Garmin Powers down which is located near the heated grips connector th View attachment 68176 View attachment 68177 View attachment 68178 View attachment 68179

Can u show a more close detailed photo of where u ran the wiring for ur zumo and what u hardwired it to for a switched setup ?

What’s your plan for wiring those red and black cables because I was looking at it today and if you want them to actually turn on and off with the bike you’re going to have to tap a switched fuse or use a secondary fuse box add on.

Wire into the accessory socket plug that is behind the left side panel. I did that with my wireless phone charger, just made up a piggyback lead so I could just plug in the accessory socket when it eventually arrived.

I’ve asked around and it looks like the simplest way/easiest way is either tapping into something inside your front Cowl or tapping into a secondary fuse box that you install first.

Have you had any issues with the GPS dying because it doesn’t charge very fast on the USB connection?

Good to here and so far no problem with charging probably due to the gps does not consume much

With the touratech handlebar mount, do you have to use the locking mount for the Zumo XT? I’ve had my Zumo mounted on my 2019 without any sort of locking mount. Now that I have a new bike, 2021, I need to fine another place to mount it because the there is no mount on the 2021’s. Thank you.

Does anyone have a picture with a phone mounted to the CRF1100L Givi upper bracket with the low windscreen, or without phone? I wonder how much taller it is than the low windscreen.
