Mounting and powering GPS

[lmadsen]

I have my own GPS and would like to get as many ideas on the different ways Spyder riders have mounted and gotten power to them. I have a 2014 RTS. Would enjoy seeing pictures along with instructions.

Thanks

How did you get power to the unit. I just purchased the same mount. I am planning on trying the install next week and was going to post the same question.

Well, you get the idea ---- might be something here that you can use.

(sorry if I missed a vendor)

Just trying to help.

I used a battery tender wire to a 12volt power socket mounted next to the left speaker on my 2014 RTS.After I unplug my battery tender to go riding I plug the 12 volt socket tender wire to the 12 volt battery tender wire and now the socket for my GPS is powered.I also am using the JT's dash mount bracket but I am getting lots of shaking of the GPS on the highway.I am not sure if its wind coming from under the stock windshield or something else :yes:

This is how I did it with videos showing how.

I did a 9 hour ride a month ago and LOVE this setup.

I have the LTD model that already had the GPS installed at the handlebar location. I didn't want to disturb the OEM wiring so I bought a new 660 mount for $50 and ran the wiring from and thru the dash top and zip tied the cables to the OEM ones. It was very ready to simply unplug the OEM connections and reconnect the replacement Garmin connections at the same places.
