Premium Member motopumps Posted April 9, 2019 Author Premium Member Share Posted April 9, 2019 I have been riding for the last three days with the prototype setup. All is good and movement and vibration is minimal. The movement is in the entire rubber-mounted windshield assembly, not the GPS mount. Latest version of the GPS mount as seen through the windshield. This is mounted to a Zumo 550 cradle. The mount has standard AMPs bolt pattern, so it will mate with most every GPS cradle or mounting system out there. Set up for a cross bar that is 12mm or .5 inch. Pretty standard cross bar size. Same as the GPS mount on my Givi mount on the VStrom, windshield frame on the Africa Twin, windshield stay on the GS and many others. Final tweaks being made, bolts being procured, etc. Rob 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quetech Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 This was my solution, keeps the gps just above the tft display. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wordsmith Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 i enjoy finding solutions to problems that don't exist - this is a case in point! There is a steel (I assume) rod that passes horizontally though the front of the screen-raising lock-lever (as the Manual calls it), secured at each end by a circlip. I don't imagine it's secured in any way inside the lock-lever, acting purely as a spindle or axle (again I assume). I wonder if this could be replaced by a rod threaded at each end, protruding a little from the body of the lock-lever, to which might be bolted a vertical bracket of some sort to form the basis of a mount for a GPS? 1 Riding a fully-farkled 2019 MT-09 Tracer 900 GT from my bayside home in South East Queensland, Australia.

quetech Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Yep I looked at doing that and various other ways to utilise the screen mounting, but l realised they would not be robust enough to stop the gps vibrating, I also wanted it look like it was meant to be there. I manufactured a stainless steel bracket with a ram mount ball on it that bolts to the main structure at the front of the bike and replaces the original Yamaha bracket, it’s hidden once all the trim is replaced. To get the gps where I wanted it just above the display meant I had to do away with the adjustable screen clamp. To sort that out I fitted thicker orings in the sliders for the screen mount so screen now adjusts by just pulling it up or pushing it down. It’s quite stiff and does not move on it’s own.. But to be honest I never saw the need to move it anyway once I found the right position The big problem I did find is the TFT display interferes with the gps and causes it to lose its satellite signal, I had wrap the TFT display to filter out the RF interference. I did a post on this in the GT section. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wake Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 My solution. I wanted to do: 1) The most light weight of fastening. 2) Easily removable mount, with minimal modifications to the motorcycle 3) It made it possible to quickly and conveniently remove the radar detector 4) Reliable, not ugly) 5) Save the ability to adjust the position of the glass The result is completely satisfied. Remaining change the screws to stainless steel. 20191013-194936 Image 20191013-194936 hosted in imgbb.com 20191013-201242 Image 20191013-201242 hosted in imgbb.com 20191013-202411 Image 20191013-202411 hosted in imgbb.com 20191013-215423 Image 20191013-215423 hosted in imgbb.com 20191013-233012 Image 20191013-233012 hosted in imgbb.com 20191014-014150 Image 20191014-014150 hosted in imgbb.com 20191014-020554 Image 20191014-020554 hosted in imgbb.com 20191014-021441 Image 20191014-021441 hosted in imgbb.com 20191018-211754 Image 20191018-211754 hosted in imgbb.com 20191018-211950 Image 20191018-211950 hosted in imgbb.com 20191018-212553 Image 20191018-212553 hosted in imgbb.com 20191018-204609 Image 20191018-204609 hosted in imgbb.com 20191019-175500 Image 20191019-175500 hosted in imgbb.com 20191030-210021 Image 20191030-210021 hosted in imgbb.com 20191019-175324 Image 20191019-175324 hosted in imgbb.com 20191019-175331 Image 20191019-175331 hosted in imgbb.com 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dimitris_NL Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 (edited) @motopumps I will go to my mechanic to make something like yours. Now that you have the dimensions and everything set up, do you maybe produce to sell? I would be highly interested!

Original Yamaha FJ-09 MT-09 Tracer 900 GPS Phone Holder, CosmoMotoAccessories WWW.EBAY.COM This holder can be installed with any windshield. Very easy to fit! | eBay! Mine is a 2015 FJ09. Don't think it fits the new Tracer or Tracer GT. This has worked well for me over the last year. I got one, too. It's worth the wait. It's heavier than you might think, but that just lends itself to 'solid'. It's soooo nice to be able to glance down but not too far down, eg handlebars. Plus I found the handlbar x-grip obscured the dash a bit. Much cleaner setup now. That mount you designed, @motopumps - impressive!! You're really on to something there, great work. 2015 FJ-09 / FJR touring bags / oil plug mod / Evotech rad guard / SW Motech bash plate / VStream touring windshield / Seat Concepts: Sport Touring / Vcyclenut ABS rings (speedo correction) / Cosmo RAM mount Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
