GPS Holder for arm

burgman2170 · Jul 6, 2011

Ok this is a little unusual request but I'm having a hard time trying to find it. My Burgman 650 when I bought it used had a attachement put on that is more or less a black tube mounting bracket attached to under the hand grip on the right side and comes out about a foot to the middle of the bike just under the speedometer. Above it the person who added this attachement on the bike also installed a adapter plug for a GPS Tom Tom or likewise unit. at the very end of the bar it has a rectangle plastic piece and that needs to be put in a plastic holder for the GPS. I hope this all sounds right? When i bought the bike the plastic GPS holder that can double for a cell phone holder as well was on the bike but my buddy broke it off trying to get it to slide off. 
 
I have a similuar GPS holder for my automoblie as I found it a 19 bucks and under catalog. I think I paid 12.99 for it, black plastic and it tightens up over the Tom Tom I have and connects to the vents in my car so I don't need to use the suction cup on my windshield. I guess I could use the suction cup on my windshield on my Burgman but don't really want to. 
 
So anyway getting back I am look for a small plastic GPS holder that has a small rectangle cut out on the back of the unit so I can place it on the mounting bracket on my bike.

The GPS bracket I have for my car is flat in the back and doesn't have a opening. The one I need for the bike needs to have a area in the back of the bracket that has a rectangle cut out. 
 
So there you have it. Maybe I need to send a picture to give you a better idea. Any suggestions?

Captain Itch thanks for the info but I have already seen this page last week. I attached a picture of my bike and if you blow it up or zoom in on the left hand grip you will see a black bar extending to the middle of the bike right over the power adapter. A small rectangle plastic receptacle is at the end of the black bar and this is what the GPS holder goes in. The GPS holder on the back of the unit needs to have a hold the size of the rectangle on the black bar so the GPS can fit in the holder securely. 
 
Today I looked carefully at the plastic black bar just so see if I could find a name on it the company who made it so I can respond back to them but no luck. I do know that the plastic piece or holder will fit any GPS or cell phone made as it adjusts to the size of the unit. I have such a holder for my car to replace the suction cup that goes on the glass. Yet the unit I have does not have a rectangle cut out in the back as it is only flat and has small holes it it for clips that attach to my air vents in my car. So I looked to the holder to see where it is made and of course there isn't any name on it. So now I'm at a dead end. The black bar is cool but I can't find attachements that will work on the end.

 
 
You really need to zoom up and you can see what I mean just under the small silver adapter in the middle front of the bike between the handgrips.

When in doubt, Dremel it out. Sounds like something that could just be cut out of you bracket with a small grinding bit.

I thought of that. It could work as long as the plastic won't crack around the edges. I rather buy the right part first if it is still available. I suspect since the person who had the bike before me must have bought this arm at a Burgman dealer or a scooter dealer up north maybe in Ohio or Michigan. I'll continue to check the net the next few days and see if I can find the device. I know they make inexpensive plastic holders so maybe I will get lucky and find one. 
 
Thanks
