Installing the Talon Perch GPS Bracket

This installation guide is intended to assist you in mounting your GPS unit to your R1150RT.

 

Secure the Perch in a vise (wood blocks will protect the bracket from scratches) or install it on your bike to hold it steady.  If you install it on your bike, you should place a cloth under it to catch the shavings.	Position your unit's cradle on the mounting surface of the Perch so that the cradle is flush with the bottom edge. Mark the location for the holes.  I am using a scribe to scratch the marks in this picture.
Punching the center of your hole marks will prevent the drill bit from moving while you drill.	Carefully drill the holes where marked.  I am using a 5/32 drill bit in this picture.
Attach your unit's cradle to the Perch.	Remove the two screws located on the bottom of your glare shield above your tach and speedometer.
Install the Perch with the cradle attached using the two screws that were removed earlier.	Now for the fun part, step back and admire your handiwork on a job well done!
Note:  After your unit is installed on your bike, it is possible to adjust the viewing angle slightly by very carefully bending it up or down as desired.  This may help in viewing the unit's display by reducing glare and is a matter of individual preference and the height of the rider.

 

Come back often and watch us grow!
