Ok, I have a 2008 anniversary ultra. I am pretty sure I want to install a Zumo 660 on the dash like the CVO bikes have. I have a copper pearl painted inner fairing on order now. I plan on 2 toning it with black and the pin-striping. Then my plan is hopefully to install the parts needed to connect the Zumo to the Dash pad on the new inner fairing. My question is, I have all the part #'s found on this forum but they dont come up on the hd site for parts, and how do you guys like the NIM added to this setup? I want the 660 because I really don't have any need for xm radio. I just want to be able to ride without having to fumble for maps all the time. It gets old. Any pictures will also help a lot. thanks jeff

 

My ex girl friend used to drink those.

 

I went in to the dealer, and asked them to look up the CVO parts manual. We scoured through it together and found the parts for the over-dashpad install. I don't have the numbers, but it wasn't very pricey. The plastic mount was around $20. That plus the standard dash mount kit (mainly for the harness) and you're set.

 

Why not use a RAM Mount (handlebar mount)? It seems sinful to drill into a painted inner fairing...IMO.

 

I use the handle bar mount on my 550 and it really works well.

 

Hey hdman6 any chance you could list all parts and give ballpark price on them cause i was hoping to do this as well over winter if i have enough left over after the other winter projects i have planned
Thanks vichendrix

 

I have a dashmount for my 660 on the 2012 Limited, and it is a much cleaner installation than the handle bar mount I had on my '05 Classic.

I use the automobile set up with mine. Use the winshield suction cup attached to the fairing and connect to the aux power outlet. I made a loop out of some black string that I secure to the cradle and the other end around the mirror in the event the suction cup loses its grip on the fairing in 6,000 miles it only happened once.

 

Heh heh!!! Thats rich. My thoughts exactly. To each his own my friend, but I will never pay the $500-600 or whatever Charley wants for that GPS. Half the charm for us is just taking off and not really knowing where we (I) am going. Love to talk to the locals at gas stations and restaurants, etc. They usually know the best routes anyway. Get to know some real good folks that way. Maps rule (for bikes anyway).

When the Indians called to renew the free XM radio subs on our last two new cagers, we just said no. $450 a year for pop lemming crap that we never use anyway? I just said that I could not do it because my job had been outsourced to India! He hung up and has not called back.

That Chinese Sumo looks like crap hanging on your bike anyway. Just ride.

 

Just a suggestion. I have the kuryakyn fuel door mount. Some don't like it but I do. Just my two cents. I've had a zumo 450 and now a 660. (same reasons as you.)

All I can say to the gps haters is they have hotel phone numbers in them. Phoning for a hotel room at 13:00 and planning yur route to ride til 17:00 is pretty sweet. I also use it for mph as my speedo is in km/h.

Later
