Looking for a chrome zumo550 mount

Techmount 30997MC (these are for the stock handlebars (1") if you've changed yours you'll need to get one that corresponds to the diameter of your bars)

Ride Safe,

I bought the HD 92365-08 from Harley. It isn't chrome; I had intended to have it chromed when I ordered it but it looks good in black. As long as the ZUMO is in the cradle you don't really see it.
That part is suppose to only fit the XL, Dyna, Softtail, Road King and Road Glide. It comes with spacers to fit the hydraulic clutch or the cable type.
Perfect fit and I'm guessing they don't want people with the Ultra's buying this instead of the in radio model they sell for the HK radio.

Click on the blue link that d00d put up and you will see the picture...

Hey d00d, when you look at the picture the whole set up is chrome... then when you click on the photo that has the Zumo on it there is a black platform on it...

What gives?

+1 I bought the HD mount and plan on having it chromed. But, doesn't look bad black.

Cold one of you guys post a picture of the mount without the GPS installed?
Thanks,

That doesn't look like a Zumo and the back plate is the mount for that particular GPS. The Zumo mount is black that attaches to the chrome mount also. Check out this thread - Standard GPS or Garmin - implementation starting at reply #11 to see pictures.

Is that all that's required, d00d? Garmin supplied cradle goes straight on?

GPS-1

Similar to how I've got mine, George. I have the clamp a little further down the bars, as on the curve, mine wasn't that good a fit.

I was a little disappointed by the quality of the mount. When it arrived,the rear (that is the visible part) of the top plate had two very obvious deep scratches in the chrome. I opened the package myself, so I know they were there on arrival, and as the worst runs under the ball socket, plainly the scratches (deep enough to catch with your finger nail!) were there BEFORE assembly! Also, while there were indeed three allen wrenches in the packet, they comprised one 5/32", and TWO 3/16" - there was no 1/8". That in itself is not a problem - I have plenty Allen wrenches, but coupled with the scratches in the chrome, it heightens my disappointment at what I expected to be a perfect, quality product.

I emailed techmount to tell them about this - politely - and they didn't bother to reply.... Speaks volumes about them I think.

Which arrived today from the US, very promptly, along with a free-of-charge 1¼" chrome clamp for my forthcoming bar change.

I have no hesitation in highly commending Techmount's products and service!

Just to throw another kink in this discussion, Powerlet Products offers a power outlet that clamps to the bars and uses the post and top plate from techmount. Comes in black or chrome. Just got throug putting this on my bike and it works out well.

Yea, yea...I know.

I'll snap a couple of photos if it'll ever stop raining here long enough for me to get it out in the daylight so I won't have to flash it with the camera. The Powerlet products are really nice though. I think Don is using some of their stuff to power up a couple of things on his bike. They make various power supply points, and quite a few ways to mount them at various places on most kinds of bikes. It's good stuff, particularly if you don't have a cigarette lighter on the bike....gives you more options of how/where to put power supplies. Very good alternative if you don't own a bike with a batwing.

I just installed a new mount on my Zumo today that is designed to work with the RAM Mounts (that I already have) and I am very satisfied with the quality and fit of the product. I bought 2 of them from a company off ebay for $35.00 each plus $6.00 shipping, 1 for the SERG and 1 for the Road King. I ordered the product on 05/18 received the shipment 05/22 so the turn around time was very good, it shipped from Minneapolis, MN and I am in Oregon. Here's a link for the mount: http://stores.shop.ebay.com/Motorcycle-GPS-mounts__W0QQ_armrsZ1

What mounts to the hole on the right?

Is there an HD attachment that goes on to the back of the Zumo mount?
