Side view.
With the windshield installed. Notice the XM antenna attached to my new "dash" with doublesided tape and a clip to hold the cable which runs down through the windshield adjusting arm slot to the mirror area, where it gets power from an accessory plug at the running light.
The shield clears the Zumo in the full down position.

The mount allows a high frequency buzz of the Zumo at idle; the same as the shield. But once RPMs are increased to anything above about 1500 it clears up. There was no shaking or looseness during a quick test ride!!

Overall, I'm happy with the way it looks and performs.

And the best part....Cost?...$0.00, because I had the aluminum around from a previous job!!

Back side.

I attached the Zumo mount and cable.
Snapped in place.
Another shot of the mount from the front of the bike.

I applied strips of thin double faced tape to the bottom to help secure it to the dash.

Black paint.

Mounted up. I reused the original screws.
The front.
I used the dash plate that came with the Zumo (round disc in the picture) as a spacer. (I drilled the holes to mate with the Zumo mount)

Zumo mount

Top: cardboard template.

Bottom: I cut .080" aluminum sheet with a small bandsaw.

The shape roughly matches the upper dash of the 06 R1200RT.



The length is about 12" long. The straight sides 2" and the mounting leg 2"x 2".


Here I've drilled the holes (4@ 3/16" for the mount and 2@ 1/4" for the dash) slightly larger than the screws to have some play for adjustment.

I've also made my bends. The leg I bent over a sharp edge at about 70 degrees and I tried to make the curve in the base sharp at the center, tapering toward the ends. Just keep trial fitting it to the dash until the shape comes close.
I hit it with some primer.
