I know there is a Touratech model that has an adapter to clear the blinker indicators but I cannot find it online.
Specifically a Garmin unit.
Please list model numbers and specific links that you all have.
I might end up calling them.
Thanks in advance.

I don't think they do a bike specific mount at Touratech, just device specific. I typed in Touratech GPS and got a whole bunch of returns. Looks like they make cradles for many different Garmin models.

It is a Tourateck locking cradle mount but there is a set of brackets that move it to clear the gauge cluster, specifically the blinker indicators.
Yes, it is a 2015 Super Tenere ES. Thanks.

I think you mean one of these: -

http://shop.touratech.co.uk/gps-bracket-fitting-adapter-garmin-zumo-590-660-v2-0-holder-garmin-montana-bracket.html

There are other posts around on the subject too, just search. Some like the TT solution, some don't. I think the issue surrounds stability of the unit, with a Nav unit, TT locking mount & the adapter bracket. Again, search is your friend, with ideas of how to construct stabiliser bars for the later bikes with adjustable screens.

Hope this helps ........................ KEN

Google gadgetguy he machines a mount out of aluminium that will take a number of GPS cradles specifically the Garmin's.

it clamps around the accessories bar, and because it is solid and holds the device close to the bar it reduces a lot of bounce and vibration you get when using ram-mounts.

Maxey's Yamaha here in OKC has a person who manufactures them. Just like what was talked about in earlier posting. very clean look and machined aluminum.

I took a standard "Nuvi" mount and made a aluminum plate to raise it just above the turn signals. Just use the back of the mount for a template and raise it one inch. ::021::
