If you have a Garmin Zumo XT you have to look into Motopumps mount and lock! They make them for several other bikes like the KTM's & Norden 901.
Their mounts are the cleanest I've seen out on the market and with their new security lock you don't have to worry about someone quickly releasing your GPS. The lock pin also helps to hold it more secure going down the road and will avoid the accidental release while messing with it wearing gloves.

Great video man. We are really happy with the security mount as well on our Africa Twin.
Thanks!
Thanks for the review! The torque setting is actually 7 inch lbs, but most folks don't have or seem to be willing to use a torque wrench, hence the warning of don't go all gorilla on it. INCH POUNDS, not FOOT Pounds! Now, repeat that back to me.. Tighten it with the provided allen key and if it still rotates on the cross bar, tighten it a little bit more... ...and BTW, I identify as a boy, a very old boy... My wife points out that my actions don't match my age most of the time though... Ride On! - Rob
Thanks for checking the video out and thanks for the torque specs! It's great you now have an all in one mount with lock too!
There is a comment here from GTRavelsUK and they are wondering if you have a way to ship to the UK?
Agree with you, not happy about the rip-off price for this lock, $141 (Aussie) plus bank foreign exchange conversion fees. If anyone is worried about accidently pushing the release button while riding, wrap a cable tie around the push button, it's a much cheaper and much easier installation option than buying this locking mechanism. Also, the cable tie will prevent the casual passer-bye from just pushing the button and steeling the GPS unit.
Thanks for watching and dropping some ideas!
I would love to buy this product, but MotoPumps don't post to the United Kingdom???
I think they have a UK ebay shop.
Oh interesting!
I honestly think you did a great job of putting together the video, but I'm not impressed with the security mount. It seems fairly fiddly if you want to quickly remove the unit from the bike. Got to be a better way. Just my opinion.
Thank you!! I can see your point. One thing I've done is just not install the pin on the days/rides I want to bring the GPS with me. Then is just snaps off and on great.
@@BikesCameraAdventure I agree with your only using it in long rides. No doubt someone will come up with a good or better solution. There are lots of bikers out there and it's only a matter of time. Cheers!!
The rally raid mount is aluminium much better n slimmer
My XT is a lot safer in my trunk or pocket
Just depends where you park it and for how long. When I go to San Francisco or Oakland, I always remove it. But in National Parks and other places with less people, I leave it.
@@BikesCameraAdventure It never depends on where I park it. It is always removed and in my pocket. Takes only seconds. It only takes one person whether you are in a park or downtown Oakland. Besides, I can remove a locked XT in just a few minutes.
Well I for one would not spend that kind of money on something that is so left behind by google maps which cost nothing
You never roam around and end up with no cell service coverage?
I've tried that and it gets tricky making sure you have all the maps you want downloaded to the phone. And, if there is just one bar of cell service it will try to use online maps witch will take forever to updated your location to show the roads/trails around you. Now if you're talking about riding on the main roads with good cell phone coverage, then yeah the cell phone maps work great. That's just not where I like to ride...
@@BikesCameraAdventure If the CSI TV show recreated most ADV rider's tracks, it'd probably be a lot of home to Starbucks.
@@SmittyAZ HAHA!
thanks for bringing this to my attention ....@stanforadventure
For sure!!
