Do you still have the pics?  I have this outfit and am waiting for my techmount and cables to arrive before I install?

Gracias.

I have this part if someone needs it.  My hockey puck would not fit on it without the fairing hitting it.  Probably not worth it as it was only a $5 part.  If someone is local, have at it.

Did you rotate the bracket towards the front over the GPS?

[SilverDawg]

The bracket has slots so it not only is secured by one of the screws in the fairing, but it is braced by one of the supports in the fairing.  The "puck" just sticks out too far on this pedestal.  I tried twice, cut could not get the fairing back on.  I just placed it on top of my Hawg-Wired amp.  I have not hooked up my Zumo yet to test it out, but it should be fine as its pretty accessible with only a few wires in the way.

The GXM30 receiver is significantly larger than the HD ant. that comes with the cvo's.

I'll say!  And Fugly too!  I can't wait for you to hook up the gps and let me know how it functions for you under the fairing.  The only downside if it picks up well, is you're not being able to move the XM radio function with your GPS to another vehicle.     spyder

Spy, it works just as well under the fairing as it does mounted like I have it now.
You will find with XM that the satellite coverage is NOT the same as it is with GPS, XM WILL cut in and out on open roads.

GPS uses 26 military satellites (24 operational, 2 spares) for world wide coverage, I don't know how many sats XM uses, but I would think it can't be more then 1 or 2

I can't picture what you are doing here, so I can't help. But the bracket I think you are talking about will fit on the Zumo bracket between the Zumo itself and the Zumo cradle.

That is because on the HD the radio has the XM receiver attached and uses the antenna to pick up the signal.
The Garmin GXM30 IS the XM receiver, hence the reason for the size difference. That GXM30 antenna is about 5 times larger then the XM antenna I use in the house!

Duane, he's not speaking of the same mount for the antenna that you are.......the one he's talking about is smaller and made to mount UNDER the fairing, not on the GPS mount.  I thought you were speaking of the one we ordered and not the HD mount.  Two diff. animals.  har!  spyder

[VANAMAL]

my antenna works great inside the fairing. i didnt use a bracket i just used a few zip ties to hold it in place

A'hhhhhh, I see said the blind man as he picked up his hammer and saw.

Aesthetically, the antenna mounted like mine may look worse, as the Zumo is a rather large looking unit, overall with the cradle that is.
Flexibility means mounting it outside the fairing though.

Hey Porthole, post another pic of your's sticking up there on that pretty red bike and let me see if it looks as FUGLY as it does on my non-red bike.     har.  spyder

Spydy,

No need to move it to the other vehicles, as they already have a mfg. GPS in them from the factory.  One of the fringes of my occupation of choice

And the other fringe is trading CVO's every 6 months?
