You will have to drill holes in the inner fairing...

Boy don't piss off the post police!!


Wasn't pissed off Sid.  That would've sounded a lot different.  Just had asked a question of a prospective vendor and waited awhile without response.  Very reasonably lost interest. 

Knew any production would be awhile.  That was obvious from the outset.  That production would be later, however, does not imply that information must also. 

Of course there are lots of reasons to choose to spend money with vendors, or not spend money with them.  Ease of information supply is one.  How one thinks they might respond after the purchase if there's any question or issue is another.  A prospective vendor cracking wise about "post police" before a dollar is even spent doesn't suggest well for the latter.

Been caught in my Zippers with vendors before.  It's only prudent to work with those that don't cop an attitude.

    Don, you must be pretty thin skinned. I didn't think you were pissed, I just thought it was instresting you felt it necessary to let everyone know I was on line and did not answer their questions. We joined this site around the same time Aug. 04 you have 25K post I have about 200, It's obvious you have enough time to be involved in almost every thread, I don't. If you will go back and read the first post you will see we were just looking to see if there was any intrest. We did not have a finished part, were not ready to go to market and did not have all the answers yet. You are free to have the last word and to quote you...I'm out

I like it.  I had a 05 Road Glide with the Quest 2 and used the HD fairing bracket.  What I really really liked about that set up was the GPS was pretty much line of sight and I really didn't have to move my head much to see the GPS, worked really good.  I'd much rather prefer this set up for the Ultra if you are planning that.  Looks like the bracket is beefy enough to handle the increased weight of the Zumo.  I would be concerend goiing over bumps and rough roads that it would not break off?  But looks good you are on to something there!

Not for a GPS that will be outdated some day and most likely the newer one will take a different mount.

Good point Chip, but all this stuff goes out of date at some point, thats why we have it mount where the old Harley Quest mounts.

If this mount actually becomes reality, I'd love to see what you could do for an Ultra.

Sid's been on and off the site a few times since the questions have been asked.  No answers though.  Hard to get the warm fuzzies about a potential vendor when even easy questions are left hanging.  I'm out.

Thanks Andy.  It's easy enough for someone to get invested enough in their own product or rep that their defense seems most important.  Fair observers always help.
