Hail BMW. Bikes like the K1200GT beg to go long, which means you need someplace to put your GPS and probably a Radar Detector. And likely more than that.
I loved my FJR, but locating, yet alone wiring up farkles, was a major PITA. So count me thrilled with the fact that BWM makes a GPS mounting bracket that snugs right between the bars. I looked at all the other solutions out there, and was briefly tempted by what Touratech offers (good luck finding it online, it’s in the “Street” catalog), but in the end, I think this is a mighty slick solution. I give it a 10
In terms of orientation, the Zumo sits on the left/right centerline of the yoke. The face of the Zumo is slightly above the grips. So if you put a ruler across the grips, it would go through the body of the Zumo laterally. The fact is probably 40 – 45 degrees from full horizontal. So with a small tank bag, you would probably not have to lean forward to see it. With a large tank bag you would . . . unless you’re built like a giraffe!

where can i buy one of these mounts?
At your local BMW dealer. It’s a BMW part and installation is simple.
Thanks Kevin, hope it is a stock part in the UK…
Im trying to fit my zumo 400 from my old FJR onto my new (2nd hand) K1200GT 07 model
Although easy to fit I find the position too low to easily view and being very flat dose result in significant sun glare. On my previous FJR1300 the GPS was mounted higher on the clutch and significantly easier to use.
