@Robert_W , No, I never said there wasn't a bracket for XT/K1600 TFT. I was saying there are no photos unless you want to call the one Wunderlich video a photo...

I've spoken with Wunderlich USA in NC. They have no knowledge of anything Zumo XT/K1600 TFT related products.

On here, the forum, i remember seeing a member mounted a Zumo XT above the TFT using a ball mount. i don't have my '23 yet, but i have the parts I will need if I decide to go that route.

I've seen that ball mount above the TFT also. If I recall they drilled holes in the dash too. But it wasn't a great solution. At least not as clean as that video anyway.

Interesting they'd deny having something when clearly they do. Maybe a one off but now I want one.

If I decide to pollute my elegant K bike cockpit with the Zumo sitting on my desk it will go on the bars for now. I did order the Wunderlich pigtail for power though. That is a nice solution.
I going to wait for spring though and see how I’m doing with a dedicated iPhone first.

If you don’t see yourself getting into longer distance performance touring, a Zumo XT is probably overkill. You can always mount a phone if you need navigation beyond what the CA/TFT provides.

The Zumo is overkill for me, no question. So is the K bike. What's your point?

I don't like mounted phones any more than mounted GPS. So much clutter. Yuck. Aesthetics. Subjective. I'm probably in the minority. But I like it here.

Don’t take things to extremes. We all have different riding profiles. There are many (some who are here on the forum) that are much more extreme with their riding than myself. Their dashboard areas look like a commercial jet console with the multiple GPS’s, phone mounts, etc. So my point is to set your bike up to match your actual riding needs. If that means keeping your TFT unpolluted with GPS add-ons, including phones, so be it.

Hi @all,

maybe I'll try a solution to mount zumo xt on top of mobilephone housing.

Wunderlich offers a mounting bracket for R1250RT on the webshop, I think it will fit on top of mobilphone lid and has enough space to the windshield. I'll try out.

there is a but: has anyone of you an idea how to remove the mobilephone lid because I do wanna fix it with bolts then only by tape.

cheers Mako

ps: sorry for not perfect english (I'm not a native speaker) but hopefully you can follow my idea. If that works fine I'll post some pictures and how it's made.

@graue_Eminenz , You shouldn't need to remove the phone door... Just take the windscreen off to get good access to the door.
