read allsorts on this but its getting confusing,. which sat navs fit with the ducati mount on the 1260 is it all garmins, and no tom toms or are there specific models of garmin ie 390 that only fit
Just 390 or 395 Zumo I'm afraid. You can fit others if you order the adapater plate from Desmo Dave of this parish. This has the industry standard AMPS hole pattern. If you have yet to buy the bracket consider Jamie's version of the same, he's a member here. This will fit any GPS I believe as it has a combination of holes on the plate.
yes, i was told about him, how do i get in contact, i have a tom tom 550 from my previous bike and would be reluctant to have to change just for a mount.
I fitted a Tom Tom Rider 400 to my Multistrada 1200 DVTDucati mount, it needs to have the holes drilled to to match the plastic holder and the steel mount. However it was reasonably simple drilling, fitting the screws was a bit of a pain but worth it to avoid needing a new Sat Nav.
Sorry, have been away from PC and phone all day. Yes, looks like you've found him. Might be more effective to send him a PM is you haven't already.
I don't know how different the Duc mount is from the Navihalter, but I just swapped a 390 to a 590 without a problem on the Navi. What I can confirm is that the 396 will not fit the Navi as Garmin have rotated the mount 90 degrees and the plate now blocks the power cable.
The Ducati mount has only the mountings screw positions for the 3xx series cradles, that's all it fits which is a bit dumb IMHO. It's a plastic moulded part (see last image above from @Ducati_Pete), not a flat plate like the Navihalter or Desmo Dave's adapter plate. To fit the adapter plate to the Ducati mount the arms need bending out a little which isn't ideal although I managed to do this without mangling them too much... Jamie's mount looks like the one to go for now that the Navihalter is no longer in production, not sure how well that works with 3xx Zumos though. I believe that the Ducati ones were also made by the same one man band that was Navihalter. Now the owner is incapacitated they may find someone else to make them.
FYI the Nav Mount that I have designed can mount any TomTom or garmin and I also have a Solution to mount a phone in a neat way. Price £69.99
You've been approached by Ducati, or you've courted them, to make mounts for them to brand and sell? Thought this would be a possibility and a good move if the price is right. If that's the case we'll done
I might be wrong but I thought the guy behind Navihalter was supplying the Ducati mounts. Or maybe they copied his design... Though possibly he has a patent? With him sidelined due to an RTA it seems more than coincidental that it's difficult to find the Ducati mounts anymore.
