HOMEMADE ZUMO MOUNT FOR BMW RT
Making a mount that positions the Zumo above the instruments.
Here's a step by step write up of the Zumo mount I built.Authors
I made the mount so that the Zumo is above the instrument panel in the line of sight. Since then, I've also mounted the XM antenna on the plate to the left of the Zumo.
Top: cardboard template.
Bottom: I cut .080" aluminum sheet with a small band saw.
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.
Then black paint
I applied strips of thin double faced tape to the bottom to help secure it to the dash.
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)
The Zumo clipped in place from the back.
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!!

Hello superb blog! Does running a blog like this require
a large amount of work? I have absolutely no
expertise in computer programming but I had been hoping to start
my own blog in the near future. Anyways, if you have any
recommendations or techniques for new blog owners please share.
I understand this is off subject but I simply wanted to ask.
Thank you!
