install a krendlelock on a rt limited

[J48cruiser]

I have a 2015 RT Limited with Zumo 590 how hard is it to put this lock on do you have to remove the cradle from the bike, then put back on or can you just put the lock on whats their?

Mine is supposed to be delivered tomorrow... I'm waiting, and watching to see what advice we get! :bbq::bbq::bbq:

What is it? No luck looking up kremdlelock on Internet.

Kradellock.com

Go to the web site and look at the instructions page. If you can tie your shoes you can install a Kradellock. You install it between the GPS cradle and mount.

Just FYI, there was a post about making sure you ask Bob (Kradlelock) for the longer bolts for the Can Am Spyder.

Thanks for the reminder!
I DID mention that, when placing the order... :thumbup:

I hope you'll write a review , with pictures, when you get it all installed. ray:

I don't want one yet. I'm hoping someone will steal my Zumo 665. That will give me an excuse to buy a 590LM. THEN I'll want one. :thumbup:

If my wish comes true, maybe I can even put in an insurance claim. (Then again, that plan may be screwed after posting this message.)

When I first saw these in a thread a few months ago it looks like an overcomplicated and overpriced accessory. Now a few months later and kind of tired of taking the GPS off every time I stop somewhere (on long trips) and not even bothering to put it on at all on shorter trips, after seeing this thread I also decided to get one and just leave the stinkin thing on all the time. So I ordered one Friday (also asking Bob for the longer bolts to which he replied right away) and it is also out for delivery TODAY. CA to FL over the weekend... impressive. I'll also update later after install. *Also, part of my reasoning is I have too much stuff paired with my Sena 10u - phone, GPS, SR10 (for ham radio/FRS with group), intercom, etc. so I figure if I have GPS mounted full time I can delete my phones direct pairing and perhaps simplify Sena setup. We'll see...

And maybe than you wont put it in a safe place and forget what that safe place is and not be able to find it again. Don't ask how I know this:banghead::banghead::banghead:nojoke

Installed mine a couple of weeks ago and it was pretty easy. Installs between the Existing GPS cradle and the bike mount.
I talked to Bob (Kradellock Guy) about the longer bolts being needed for the RT's. I think he even went to the local Spyder dealer to take measurements.

Done - Installed

So package came and I installed it. Took less than 10 min, including interruption. Hardest part to getting tools together. When I got interrupted I guess I missed one picture with the factory mount off, sorry about that Anyway...

1. Remove existing/factory cradle via 4 hex head screws. My screws were 9/32" head. I left the existing washers in place.
2. Held Kradellock behind cradle (loose part on wire) and inserted the proper 4 screws. Screw goes through the cradle, through the holes in the kradellock and into the mount on the Spyder. The set came with 2 sets of 4 screws - 1 set philips head 1 5/8" long and 1 set hex head 2+ inches long. I used the philips head as they were perfect length.
3. Screwed the 4 screws back into the bracket/mount remaining on the bike (swivel head) in the same position where screws came out
4. That's it - open kradellock with key, insert GPS then close/push down on top of kradellock until it rests on GPS cradle and while holding down push in the pin in the center of the lock to secure it in place. Use key to unlock and pop kradellock open to remove GPS.

Had to be pretty much the easiest install of anything ever - remove 4 screws and re-install with 4 longer screws with kradellock sandwiched in between. Hope the pictures help, sorry I missed the one with cradle hanging and the bracket on bike.

OK ... had to order one! I had a similar lock for my old Garmin 6210 and I missed the ability to simply leave the GPS on the bike when I went for a pee :shocked:

While I believe anyone with a nutdriver or socket, and screwdriver could do this, I edited the written part of my instructions to be a little more specific - just in case it makes someone a bit more comfortable...
