Just bought a Garmin Zumo 500 for the XB and just wondered where the best place is to mount it on the bike. Also do you use bluetooth headset if so what one? |

Have got mine on the right side of the handlebars on the Ulysses, right in front of the brake fluid reservoir. That's where it seems to be in the picture in the accessories catalogue. But the left side now seems a more sensible option - no fluid reservoir thee, so more space, and easier to reach with the left hand on the move. So I'll be moving mine... |

I have used a £49 tesco sat nav that is OK. It is not waterproof but you could just put it in a clear plastic bag. Why pay more  ......... no really, why http://direct.tesco.com/q/R.206-5387.aspx |

HTC touch diamond mobile phone with tom tom installed - suckered onto the rev counter and rubbered up with a condom in the wet. |

You could use a cheap satnav with one of these. the nice thing about this bag is that its generic so if you change satnav, you dont have to buy the mount kit all over again..... |

I agree with rev potts, I just got the Scala Q2 and it linked no bother, I used to have it linked to my autocom by bluetooth but could only hear it at low speeds, I`ve always had it mounted on the left hand bar as I`m a leftie and it works great for me. |

Looks like the place I ordered it from dosen't have any left so if anybody know where I can get one from cheap(under £300) let me know. |
