Hi All,
I manufacture and sell a custom made GPS mount that places the GPS, cellphone, Camera, or Camcorder between the handlebars of the Honda SilverWing or Relex Scooters.

This mounting system uses a 1" Ram ball which is included in the price. The mounting plate is black epoxy coated 1/8" thick steel and uses stainless steel screws & washers with 2 special spacers made of 6061 T6 aluminum that provide plenty of support and will not crush the handlebar screw hole structure. This mounting system holds like a rock and looks good. I have sold many of these mounting systems to my SilverWing Brothers and have gotten good reviews from all and bless those who came back and purchased another for their friends scooters.

The price is $45.00 USD + $6.50 USD shipping. You can purchase with Money Orders, Personal check, or PayPal (if you use PayPal add $2.50 USD for PayPal fees).

INTERNATIONAL: The price is $45.00 USD + $13.00 USD shipping. You can purchase with Money Orders, Personal check, or PayPal (if you use PayPal add $2.50 USD for PayPal fees).

If you would like to purchase a mount for your scooter, please contact me through this forum and I will send you the purchasing information or email me at : dennisberney@cox.net

Thank You and ride safe,
DennisB











Thank You for looking

DennisB

Dennis,

That is a really nice set-up you came up with. I think I may go for that in a month or so. The wife may get mad if I start buying stuff right after XMas.

Hi Jeff,
Every one that has purchased one of my GPS mounts have said nothing but good things about it and how well it holds their GPS units, like a rock.
Mounting your GPS between the handelbars works great. At night the GPS is out of all that rear headlight glare from the cars or trucks behind you. During the day the GPS is out of the way but can be seen by just glancing down, just like looking at you speedometer.
All and all... it just works GREAT and it's made of the best materials.

Thank You,
DennisB

Dennis,

That really is a slick mount and I will be sending you an order soon. I had been working with some mechanical engineers at work to come up with a solution like yours. Your mount is simple and looks very good, with a great placement location.

I have them in stock and I ship USPS Priority Mail with delivery confirmation so you get very fast delivery on this item.

I try to ship the next day on all GPS mount orders.

Thank You,

Dennis

Dennis -

Your mounting hardware looks great! My PayPal account had about $20 in it, so I just transfered funds from my checking acct into Paypal. It takes 3-5 business days to move, and when it gets into PP, I will email you with an order. I have yet to get a GPS unit. I will be shopping between now and riding season. Any suggestions from your experience and comments from previous clients?

Hi Gene,
You asked the big question. There are alot of great GPS's on the market today and Lord only knows witch one is the best for mounting on the SWing. The only things I wanted in a GPS was to have it shock proof, weather proof, work well, and at a affordable price. This Lowrance XOG filled the order but it's just not glove frendly. But it works for me.
Another thing is getting DC power to your the GPS. I saw a ad on Ebay for a motorcycle hardwire cable assembly for a good price and this would be a snap to install. Here is the thread to the ebay sight:

http://search.stores.ebay.com/MF-X2_hardwire_W0QQfciZQ2d1QQfclZ4QQfsnZMFQ20X2QQfsooZ1QQfsopZ1QQsaselZ1024522QQsofpZ0

This seller carries all the different GPS hardwire cable kits at a good price.

I hope this helps......Dennis

What's the difference between the ebayer's cord vs. taking the cigarette plug in cord and cutting of the plug to get bare wires?

I will look into the Lowrance product. I use a Lowrance GPS in my plane, and am pleased with that.

Hi Gene,
Just cutting the GPS plug end off and installing the wires to the scooters hot, 12 volt wires will not work. The scooters voltage (12Vdc, 30amp) needs to be droped down to 5Vdc, 1.5amp's to meet the GPS's power requirment. This electrical voltage/amp drop down takes place on the small circuit board located inside the cable end that plug's into the cigarette/power outlet. It reduces the voltage and amp's down.

Thank You, :D

Dennis

That's why these forums rock! Thanks for the info!

Gene,

It is surprising how much information we can get from forums. I would be totally lost without them. There just isn't any information about the larger Touring Scooters in magazines. I have learned a lot from all the forums I visit, whether they are Silver Wing related or not.

Just may have to take you up on this, looking for a GPS now.

Dennis,

After just ordering your GPS mount, I also ordered the hardwire power cable for a Lowrance XOG. My question is where to tap into on the S'wing. I did install an amplifer and speakers for my S'wing, and I ran the power cord directly to the battery. Is that what I should do for the GPS or do you have a better suggestion. My plan is to install your mount and get the power cord hooked up. Then I will order an XOG. I have seen them for decent prices on Ebay. Last question (for now). Does the XOG include the ram mount that holds the unit that will connect to your mounting hardware? Thanks for all your expertise.

Hi Gene, They have a very good deal on new XOG's on ebay and with free shipping. As for hook up, I used a splice off the big white wire off the headlight connector. This makes the GPS power switch off when the scooter is turned off. The XOG does not draw that much power and does not effect the light.
The other thing's you'll also need to get from Ram are:

3" Arm, Cradle diamond back ball mount, and Lowrance XOG Cradle.

I have these things. I bought these when I needed to take a picture for the ad for ebay. They are just not being used. Would like them? If so... you can have them for $25.00 and I will ship them with the Silverwing mount.

DennisB

I'll take them! Thanks again Dennis. I just sent $25 via PayPal to you.

Thank's Gene,
I'll get it all in the mail to you this afternoon.

Thank You very much,
DennisB :D

Dennis,

I got the GPS mount in the mail today. I'll report back after I mount it on my S'Wing. Right now the temp is -2 f, and tommorow is not going to get above 0. I think I'll wait until we see something above 30 f. Thanks for the fast shipping!

Dennis,

I mounted the GPS mount earlier today and it is really nice. I will post some pics too so others can see. But it is so easy that pics really aren't needed. I did take all of the steering covers off since I adjusted the handlebars... I pulled them back a bit and it is so much more comfortable. But I will post pics of how I did it and how it looks from from the same angle I look at it when sitting down. Thanks and good work.

For any present or future viewer of this forum looking at the GPS or Dual Flag Mount items manufactured by Dennis. I have both and they are top notch. Do not be concerned about the quality or his craftsmanship. They both add to the beauty and use of our Silver Wings. I attended the PGR dedication in Mississippi yesterday and three people looked over the flag mount and GPS mount. Dennis you can be proud of your work. Those that see it know immediately that it is not CCS. Thank you for your extra effort to put quality in your items.

Just mounted Dennis' GPS mount and took my S'Wing out for my 3rd winter ride. Here's the pictures. Thanks for the great product Dennis. Simple and effective - designed by a good engineer!

Dennis, I just sent payment via PayPal to your email
Please advise on shipment.
Can't wait to get this installed.


This Wing is gonna ride again.

Dennis , I just sent Payment Via PayPal to your email
Please advise on shipment.
Can't wait to get your item installed.

:D :D :D :D
Thought I deleted one of these

Regors,

I bought one and mounted it and it works great. I went on a long ride this last Saturday and it works better than the mount I have that is on my handlebar. Being in the middle helps shade it better than when it is so high up on the handlebar. I'm glad I bought it and it is very well made.

i got a mount here in london uk what a work of art its great he sold sell to garmin and take out a contract and make millions

Hi M,



Thanks for the heads-up on the bad spelling. I'm going to put the blame on my one good typing finger or should I say bad typing finger. Dam thing just has a tough time with spelling.



Thanks again,



DennisB

Hi Dennis,

Can you tell me more about the GPS mount. Do you have any pictures? Cost?

Thanks!

Ed

Ed... read the posts in this thread... there are even some pictures from Gene Woods of his mounted. I have NEVER seen or read of anyone who complained about this product. You will not be disappointed. If you need more pictures or more information, do a search and read more. This fellow makes good stuff. Kinda sad it is going to not be available after the next 16. Some folks are really going to miss out on something special.
I have had mine for almost a year and am extremely pleased.
Gary

Hi All,

DennisB

Hi,

thanks
Don
