    Default GPS Attachment

    My husband has a new F3T and it is a beauty. He wants to attach his TomTom motorcycle GPS to the bike but is at a loss as to the best way to proceed. If you have attached a GPS to your F3 would you please post a picture of your GPS on the bike and/or the mounting? Thanks.

    I have the TomTom Rider 400 and bought Lamonts F3 Bar Clamp and a 1" Ram Ball. I mounted mine right in the center. I'd take a picture but I just dropped it off this evening at the dealer for some warranty work.

    The GPS came with a Ram Mount and a U bar for the handlebar, but I didn't like the way it mounted.

    There's a power source right under the left panel and it's marked.

    The third picture is from the riders view.

    Lamonster handle bar clamp with swivel mount and a added angle plate made by me to keep sun glare down. Works great and looks very clean in my opinion. Had handle bar clamp from RAM before and it looked cluttered.

    Hi Copperman, I looked for the marked power souce your mention under the left panel but I'm not sure I saw it. I did see a wiring harness with about 20 wires in it, is that what you are referring to? If not, can you please post a picture of the proper power source? Thank you!

    Default One more question!

    Where do you attach a battery tender to a 2016 F3T?

    If you look close under the left panel, there's a group of wires wrapped with what appears to be soft electricians tape. Zipped tied to that is a much smaller wire. If you follow that smaller wire, you'll see it's stubbed out. That's it. From the stubbed end, follow it back a few inches and you'll see a white tag that says, "Customer Accessory Circuit." Peel back the soft tape and you'll see the wire.

    I'll see if I can take a few pictures.

    I installed a Garmin Zumo to my wife's F3-T. As has been mentioned, there is a customer accessory circuit under the left hand panel.

    There is also a GPS power connector and GPS Audio connector under the small panel just below the seat on the LH side. I connected the audio out on the GPS harness to the audio input and it works great.

    If you will go to lamonster garage he has a very good video on how to run the wires on the left side. It is under the 12 connector he sells.

    I am waiting on my electrical hookup for my Garmin to install and the video is very clear and something I am going to try to do myself.
