Fabricate your own GPS mount on your motorcycle using parts you probably already have around the house!

Parts you will need to make the GPS dock:
– 3/16″ x 2″ Bolt
– Rubber Washer (Make sure fits snug in hole)
-Nut
-Triple Tree hole plug (Comes with bike)
-Mounting Bracket for GPS (Nuvi 1690)
-Suction cup mount (Usually Comes with GPS)

Instructions!

Step #1
Drill a 3/16″ hole in the center on the triple tree cap.

Step #2
Drill a 3/16″ hole in the rubber bottom of the suction cup mount aprox 1/2″ from the edge on the opposite side of where the lever is.
Tip: Make sure the lever is up or you will not be able to pull the rubber down to put the bolt in.

Step #3
Pull the rubber back and push the bolt in. It should be very snug as you push the bolt in.
Tip: Again make sure the lever is up or you will not be able to pull the rubber down.

Step #4
Screw the bolt through the triple tree cap. If the bolt slides in you made the hole too big!

Step #5
Put the rubber washer on the bolt, it should fit very snug as you slide it up to the bottom of the triple tree cap.

Step #6
Screw the nut up to the rubber washer and lightly tighten it with pliers. Don’t tighten it too tight!

Step #7
Push the bolt and cap all the way in in the triple tree hole. It should give you a fair amount of resistance and should fit very tight and snug.

Step #8
Snap the GPS mounting bracket onto the mounting ball.

Bonus Step#9
Attach the 12 volt charger mini USB plug into the back of the GPS mount. You will need to install a 12 volt receptacle to connect the 12 volt charger to. You can buy a 12 volt receptacle at radio Shack or online. Make sure to wire in a fuse on the positive wire before you connect it to the battery.

That’s it. EZ!
