this is my first attempt to mount and power my cell for GPS on a 2013 BMW F800GS.<\/p>\n

to start, there is an SAE plug tucked away under the right front fairing, this might be stock, might be dealer added, i haven’t been able to get an answer either way. i picked up an SAE to USB adapter from burns moto<\/a>\u00a0that outputs 5V DC @ 2.1A. \u00a0the SAE seems to be directly connected to the battery as it charges the phone with the bike off, from what i’ve read, there is a cambus that would shut down power after turning off the bike, the powerlet outlet is on this bus. \u00a0here’s a picture of the SAE plug:<\/p>\n

on the mount front, i’ve got a so-so solution with a RAM clamp mount that i’ve got attached to the windscreen, with a 6″ bar it clears the handlebars in a full turn and gets the phone up decently high. i haven’t test ridden yet, so i don’t know about vibration and viewing angle, i’ll report back when i have. [UPDATE] test ride complete, quick city and highway ride, no vibration issues, the screen is readable in motion. [\/UPDATE]\u00a0here are some pictures of the installed mount:<\/p>\n
