I was looking for somewhere to attach a large ruggedised cell phone I have (King Kong brand - I normally use it for SATNAV and digital radio in my Volvo 244) and came up with this scheme to mount it inside the fly-screen I fitted a few weeks ago. First I made myself a cardboard template:
... and cut it out of 1.2mm aluminium sheet, bent the two ears that locate onto the fly-screen's mounting bolts and gave it a coat of black paint (whatever I found in the garage, I think this was Plastikote):
The fit behind the fly-screen was (even though I say so myself) quite good, so I added a single magnetic mount (the same type as I use for the 244's dashboard):
The motorcycle already had a USB port on the handlebars, which was convenient (although the cable needs to be tidied a bit):
Voila! I'll try this out later on today (it is a nice day here in Blighty):
I'm fairly happy with that. The magnetic mount works pretty well, but I may add a strap for a bit more security (and to stop some pikey making off with my ruggedised cell phone). For a total cost of a fiver (for a sheet of 1.2mm aluminium) that probably isn't a bad way of getting SATNAV in a weatherproof box, and with some Bluetooth headphones I could also have a bit of OBE (on bike entertainment).
