Problem: see above quote

solution: Stick it in the faring already

Result: you now owe me at least 1 

Not so quick there, it is not any good to me except for the bike if I can't access it relatively easy to move to my truck.  Keep thinking.  har!  spyder

"1) PPC-020-SC GARMIN ZUMO POWER CABLE

Short cable-SC at 12" in length w/Powerlet PPL-002 straight plug $32.95
(I might recommend a 10" cable and a right angle plug. It might be a cleaner look and easier to use.) "

Merlini, please forgive what may be an obvious question, but did you splice these 2 together?

No, the PPC-020-SC GARMIN ZUMO POWER CABLE is already assembled from Powerlet
It is a Short cable-SC at 12" in length.
It has a Garmin mount power connector on one end and the Powerlet PPL-002 straight plug on the other end.
That's probably why the cable costs $32.95

Yes, If you are refering to my reference to the 10" cable w/right angle plug.
When using the motorcycle wiring cable supplied from Garmin (in the box) cut 10-11 inches off the Garmin mount power connector end.
I had to cut this end off anyway to run this power wire inside the handlebars.
Then just order the right angle plug from Powerlet and connect the plug to the Garmin mount power connector.

Looks good!

I still have external wiring to my 2730. I may switch it, your way really cleans it up. One question - how did you deal w/ the audio cable? Is it integrated into the powerbar somehow or did you have to run a second wire?

Thanks

I ran both the audio and Zumo power inside the handlebars.
I attached the audio the the additional AUX jack in the back of the HD radio.

thanks!

2) 194 amber bulbs and sockets Auto Zone or you can use resistors and not have two lit bulbs inside your faring. (real cheap)

Sorry if I'm being dull - but why do you need bulbs inside the fairing??

Originally I used a Delphi FM modulator. This unit requires a power draw to activate it.
The way the Delphi FM modulator worked is...it connects to the SkiFi radio.
When the SkiFi radio is turned on (hence the power draw) it activates the FM modulator and it turns on.
At first I used the two bulbs for the draw. Then I used resistors, to eliminate the bulbs to activate the modulator.

Since then I have pulled the FM modulator out and installed a AUX input in the back of the HD radio.
Much cleaner sound, no worries about FM stations in different areas, no worries about component failure, a lot less wiring.

I wish I would have done the additional AUX input first. I took 15-20 minutes to do!

Ah!  All is now clear!

Do you have a pic of how the Zumo cradle is mounted to the techmount.
you mentioned it a easy and quick mount.
I was going to call Teckmount & powerlet this week.
Thanks,

The plate you see horizontal in the picture will rotate to vertical. It is pre-drilled for a standard screw pattern, which is what Garmin uses.

The Zumo uses a rectangular cradle that is about 1/2" thick and then the Zumo snaps into the cradle.

Here is a link to the Techmount Quick Change Adapter

http://www.techmounts.com/products/index.php?page_function=detail&product_id=94

Be sure and use washers for spacers between the Quick Change Adapter and the Zumo Cradle.
Otherwise the supplied screws are a little too long and may scratch the Techmount plate.



Notice the space between the Zumo mount and the Quick Change Adapter.

Hey, thanks I like that setup.

Nice installation....not enough smart to do this
