• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Who has a Garmin Zumo XT & is using a Lock - what lock? Thoughts?

Ok, who out there is running the Garmin Zumo XT on their bike and who of you have a GPS locking device on it?
If you have a GPS locking device what are you using and what has your experience been or what is your impression of the locking device?

thanks

so you are not worried about it coming unclipped if you hit a bump? The latching device is sort on cheap compared to the Zumo 590 &595
 
yea I saw the Kradellock but for that kind of money I am leaning towards the Touratech. Theirs seems to be bullet proof plus there is a guy in the UK that makes a visor for it to work with the Touratech and he even has a blank plate to cover the pin connector when the GPS isn't in use.

Campermac, the latching device is rock solid on the XT, as long as you have clipped it in properly. I hit the mother of all potholes on my ‘21 RT, enough to dislodge the dash display into the bodywork and pop some of the side body mounting tabs. The XT remained in place. I have hit many potholes since. There is no issue with the XT coming unclipped. I, also, simply pop the XT in the glovebox when I leave the Spyder. Takes 5 seconds.

I purchased the lock from MotoPumps for the Garmin XT. It does everything that I want it to do. At night I take the GPS off and put it in the trunk.
 
Touratech here. Built like a brick poop house. Also has rubber covered clamping arms to help reduce vibration. I now leave the GPS attached overnight when traveling. Not gonna get the GPS without damaging it. Costly yes, but you get what you pay for..
