an alternative to the migsel on the st1300

[kenG]

i had my ram mount too low and centre mounted through a mod where the honda logo is above the steering centre tube. had to keep lookind down.
si i rumaged the box out of the attic and decided to mod the handlebar mount that came with my zumo 340lm



so i took of the top cover and done some marking up and a little bit of grinding.
then a bit of alloy plate hammered and curved for a strengthener, (its rough, it will not be seen)

re routed the power supply.
and came up with this.

its been out 500mls without issue.



dont be afraid to butcher something your not using.

cost "nothing" but a little time and patience.

I made my bracket up using left-over copper pipe & plumbing fittings. perfect for what I need! I can mount my sat-nav, dash cam and phone exactly where I want them.

Nice... cheap, easy, functional... excellent.

Very nice practical alteration. Well done.

I like Ken's mod a lot. The Migsel mount is one of my favorite add-ons since purchasing my bike last August. I like the GPS located there, centered and above the speedo. This does the job as well as the Migsel.

Lets see pictures of all these mods. I have a RBIS if anyone is interested in it.
