How to mount navigation on an AK 550
« on: February 25, 2020, 10:39:34 AM »
Has anyone mounted a navigation unit on a AK 550?

If so, what mount did you use?

I mounted a RAM ball mount onto the brake reservoir housing.
Similar to this one:

Thank you very much!

I asked the dealer about a mount and they wanted to drill a hole in the middle of the console under the windscreen.  I wasn't too keen on drilling a hole in a 10,000 Euro scoot.

After your suggestion, I see that Louis has these... and I got one from Amazon.  I was a little worried about size when fitting on the brake fluid container... but the mount actually sits on top of the container.

Your solution beats the 156 Euro solution from Taiwan!  That solution also requires drilling.

Thanks again  8)

You are very welcome! I'm glad to be able to help. What actually are you mounting? The in-built Sat Nav works really well in my opinion.
