Nav Tower install bracket options
Permalink  
 

Any ideas on installing a bracket on the head stock to mount a nav tower / screen?

 

1. wield it on, will be the last option 

2. drill the head stock & bolt it on

3. fab up some crazy wild looking bracket 

 

has anyone had a good go doing something like this? 

cheers

I think a couple of welded on lugs (onto the yoke tube) would be the best option, which the bracket/frame can bolt to. Preferably don't weld over the frame number!
The yoke could feasibly be drilled and tapped to bolt a bracket to it, but the tube is not really that thick. (And use short bolts that don't hit the inner stem and seize the steering!)
I prefer to have the capability to point the headlight beam in directions other than that the bike is pointing in, but that's just me

Looking at some of the bracket options on the web, it might be feasible to drill through the frame gusset behind the steering yoke tube to allow for mounting bolts. Probably the least "intrusive" option.

I ended up fabing a bracket, drilling 3x holes through the head stock & bolting with stainless bolt, plenty of room between the bolts & stem

Some more photos would be really appreciated, even 2 years later.
Plus a list of parts used and parts fabricated.

S'pose since this is 2 years old, the op is off riding the world, and this is his 1 day!

Well mine is more of a mini fairing/wind shield/gps mount than a tower...but it works for me.I got it in the sale at Ali express for around £100 GBP Inc delivery and taxes. For the money I really can't fault it!
