Garmin Zumo 550?

[ant4]

Has anyone mounted the Zumo 550 to an '08 with the provided mounting hardware? If so, how does it work and post pics. Thanks in advance!

You mean this? I have it mounted to a stem stand, so it's not 100% out of the box. I used the stock hardware on my DR650.

Here is another thread that has some of the same questions with other pics... Let me apologize again for the water spots.

Well, I guess I'm not alone also got a 550 for Christmas.

CAP, noticed in your pics, did you use the short, medium or long RAM extension? Also, tell me how you wired it.

I've decided to wire mine by extending my Battery Tender plug up under the tank, and wire a matching plug to the zumo (after shortening the wiring to include the fuse). That way, I can use the same plug to either power my Zumo, or plug to the tender, and can quickly complete remove the Zumo+mount anytime. Thoughts?

Waiting for the 6ft BT extension before going any further...no sense in not getting it right the first time!

Wired mine by using a Wire Harness Kit from Greg....

I saw that, but I didn't want to use the euro connectors (more visible) and wanted to use the same connector when I plug up my Battery Tender. I'll have to post a pic when I install it hopefully over next weekend.

I believe you will need vary kinds of mounts plus bracket that comes with the 550 to secure the gps device. Check into this site:

Hope it helps.

I just hard wired mine to the battery with the power cable that came with it. When I'm not using it I unplug it from the mount and tuck the cable out of the way. I'm using the Stem Stand mount too. Works good.
