Windshield and GPS

[DryRider]

I have a 2014 ES and have issues with the stock windshield and how I mount my GPS on a touratech bracket. It covers the turn signal lights. I plan to change the windshield to a Givi Airflow but need a plan for how to mount the zumo 660 on a bracket so I can see my signal lights with the airflow...any thoughts?

I have exactly the same issue with my Zumo covering the turn indicators, also the weight of the GPS causes the mount top vibrate somewhat. I have just ordered the SW Motech handlebar mount and am going to fit that and relocate GPS & TT bracket to the new location.

I had a GPS mounted on the bars of the Tiger and it was no problem at all and easy to reach the buttons.

i have one of those motec handle bar mount ..but.. the bars on my tenere are to fat to fit it on ?

I measured the bars (2014 version) at 28mm. There is a version of that size.

Thats a pretty far from the line of sight? Not sure about that? I was hoping someone might have put the tt windshield bracket with the tt mount for gps with the Givi Airflow could tell me if that works on a 2014? It helps to know I'm not the only one feeling its a bit heavy on the bracket... thanks for the help.

My GPS and phone mount to my handlebar clamps so they also can block my vision of the turn signals. I opted to upgrade the turn indicators as at the bottom of the thread below.

Had my zumo 665 mounted the same place. But I did not like how it vibrated and moved around. So tonight I moved it to the center of the handlebars on my 2014 ES. Just took a short ride with it there, but it was absolutely solid with no movement at all. The only issue is it is a little harder to get to the key. Not really blocked but you do have to reach over it.
