Sounds great. Thanks again

There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Great. I've already installed the power and the audio cables. When can I expect my bracket ?
Incidentally, posting the video instructions is exceptional.

GPS mount information directly from BRP
Here is the reply I just received from BRP's Stephane Bertrand, district sales manager for Florida, when I asked him personally to see if the 660 mount could be purchased directly from BRP..... Len
Hello Len,
I validated with BRP right to the source and the brackets are not available separate. The way the purchase agreement was done between Garmin and BRP is that mount and GPS are sold together. Maybe you could find someone that could machine you the part? Sorry I couldn't help.
Thanks
Stephane

Just an FYI, this is the reply I just got from Hilda in regard to my question if the GPS 550 mounts were shipped yet.

Excellent news, I'm eagerly awaiting mine.
I know the BRP kit for the Garmin 660 has a form fitting plastic cover which protects the mount when the Zumo is removed. Have you thought about anything like that for the 550 ? I'm thinking I'll have to fabricate something, maybe out of some vinyl, but I'm real interested in anybody else's ideas.

The finished product is black and appears gloss painted. I hadn't even considered some kind of cover for the mount. Not sure it needs one.

I'm sure the KewlMetal mount looks great. But unlike the RAM mount originally supplied with a Zumo, the Kewlmetal mount requires you to permanently attach the Garmin mount to the bike. Maybe I'm the only one, but my Zumo shares duty between my bike and my car. And I will often go out with the Zumo removed from the bike. If you take the Zumo out, that leaves the naked Garmin mount. I'm thinking of some type of cover for the Garmin mount.
OK.... I'm slightly confused...
The 550 has a dedicated bike mount and a dedicated car mount, therefore why would you want to remove the mount from the spyder anyway?
Maybe i'm missing something...
Can't comment on the Kewlmetal mount as apparently mine is on backorder..... go figure

The Garmin mount has a rubber cap that covers the electrical connectors between the garmin and the Garmin cradle to protect it from the elements. I never removed it from my previous bike. The cradle shouldn't need to be covered.

Here's a picture of the 660 cover that BRP includes with their RT mount.
I'll try to fabricate something like this, probably out of some vinyl and velcro, although I'd prefer to remove the Garmin mount altogether when I remove the Zumo.
IMHO, there is no better security system than OOSOOM. (Out Of Sight, Out Of Mind). If there is no mount visible, there is less likelyhood for unsavory characters to go monkeying about.
Of course, YMMV.
