Just installed the Harley Handlebar mount for my new Zumo 660.

It seems to lock in to the holder fairly well, but I'm looking for some sort of "fail safe" just in case it pops out.

Thought about some sort of "Lens Cap Keeper" like you would use on a Camera so you can't lose the Lens. The GPS doesn't have any way to attach anything to it that I could see, so the Lens Cap Keeper would have to attach with 3M tape.

Anyone figure out a way to save the $500.00 GPS if it happens to pop out of the holder?

 

My zumo 550 has a built in lock on the release tab on top.

 

I have the Garmin 1450 LMT. With the RAM mount, it snaps in place and short of an accident, I don't think it could pop out at all.

In the meantime, there's always a big rubber band or duct tape.

:-)

 

+1...have the HD fairing mount for the Zumo 550 and it locks in rock solid. You have to lift the release handle to get it out. If your HD mount is similar I wouldn't worry about it popping out during anything you would regularly encounter on the road.

 

Google Zumo tether you'll come up with several answers. Here is one simple cheap one.

If you want really secure and ugly look at this.

And a other option from the Zumo forum see pictures.

 

Well I have had my 660 on my bike for 3 years now and have never had it fall out of it's holder/bracket. It stays in place real good. I myself wouldn't worry about it.

 

Mine fell out one time a luckily fell in my lap as I was going down the road and was able to snag it before it hit the ground. The little locking tab gets dirty or weak and I have to remember to push it shut or it will fall out. I will be doing a tether on it. Thanks for the idea.

 

I hope this thread isn't a bad omen. I'm about to take the new 660 out on it's maiden voyage.

 

Got over 70k miles on mine with no problems. As long as you make sure it's secure when you attach it I can't see it falling out on its own.

 

At least on my 550 you cannot put it in wrong and still have the top lock close. Once it is in properly you must screw down that impossibly little screw with the impossibly unhandy screwdriver. So, I just ordered a knurled screw replacement from Touratech, cost $7 plus shipping.

Also you should call them and ask for USPS shipping ($4.95). Otherwise you will pay $12.95 shipping for a 7 dollar part.
