A simple pair of wire cutters, and I'm GONE with your GPS! :yikes:
After seeing how solid and secure this makes the setup; why try to save money on doing it cheaply (And Less securely)? :dontknow:

The Zumo 590 that was part of my OTD deal came with a complete set of accessories amongst which was a protective cap for the contact pins on the GPS cradle and is locked in place by the Kradellock. I find it a much better option than trying to stretch BRP's rubber boot over the Kradellock and GPS mount when I don't ride with the Zumo installed, like during local running around. It's worth a check with Garmin to see if there is such a device for models other than the 590 if one has a different one. JMO.
BRP's rubber boot .... if the Kradellock is not locked down, I can fit the top of the boot in the gap between the lock and GPS cradle.
But, that Zumo protective cap does look more secure.
Since there seems to be no reason to lock the boot into place: leave the Kradellock open, and you're good to go! :2thumbs:
Order mine last night will update when it arrives thanks for all the input

If you ordered the Kapplock also; you didn't have to...
But I'm going to use mine to make it tougher for the :cus:-bags to steal my Go-Pro.
(It replaces the big thumbwheel "nut' that is used on any of the Ram accessory mounting arms...)
remove mount, place kradellock under mount, reinstall....done
I really like mine!!!

Too true Bob
Will probably look to the Kradlelock as a long term solution and look out for suspicious types with wire cutters:spyder:
installed it on Friday it's well made and I feel Secure leaving my GPS on the bike but one problem was the GPS keeps flopping down is there any way to tighten up the up-and-down motion on the mount thanks for any help
I think that you just need to go back in, and tighten up the four screws that hold the Kradellock to the clamps.
I believe that the bottom screw kind of attaches to the "solid" end of the clamp, and the top one attached to the part that tightens down to provide the clamping force. :thumbup:
On my BRP mount for the Tri-Axis handlebars the bottom two bolts are the ones that adjust the clamping pressure of the cradle on the mount.
:dontknow: That's very possible: mine could be backwards! nojoke
One end goes solidly into the body of the clamps, and the other one hooks to the end that pivots in and out as the tightening force is changed...
THANKS GUYS FOR THE HELP GOT IT ALL TIGHTEN DOWN AND NO PROBLEM WITH MY ROBIN HOOD SUN SHADE STILL FITS ONE LESS THING TO DO AT PIT STOPS
:congrats: Glad to hear that you were able to... :D

OK mine is installed. The hardest part was reading the teeny tiny print used for the instructions sheet! :duh:
They had instruction sheets available on their website in .pdf format. They were printable and downloadable. :thumbup:
Just installed the kradellock on my 2015 RTL installed in about 20 min. Gave Bob the size of the screws on the cradle one from the top and on from the bottom
they were both 1" in length he sent me the new screws,they fit perfect would recommend this lock

Highly recommend this product, especially with the WONDERFUL PHOTOS that make it stupid-simple to install! I am mechanically challenged and even I was able to install it in less than 10 minutes. Best of all, my GPS sun shade (Glare Stomper #322) is not in the way at all. So didn't have to change a thing, other than no longer having to remember to remove it when I stop! So awesome! And $125 (including tax (none) and shipping (also none)) is less than any other Farkle I've have added!! When you consider what it would cost to replace the GPS, it's worth it.
So thank you, thank you, thank you :bowdown::bowdown::bowdown::bowdown::bowdown::bowd own::bowdown::bowdown: to everyone who showed me the way.
Very easy to install I posted pictures
