First video that shows proper wire routing!

Probably not as in depth as I could have gone, but thought no one would be interested. Glad it helped you👍😜

[@mrcintheuk4641]

I've just put a deposit down on a CB750 Hornet. It's a workhorse bike for me so I've ordered through the dealer a hugger, fender extender, screen, crash bungs, bar ends, rack and top box and negotiated with the dealer to fit everything for "free".

[@thelikeablerider8800]

That's a good deal m8, enjoy👍😎

[@DanceMusic1957]

Nice one Shaun👌1 down many more too come...one thing i miss here is the garage if you want too do anything...ah well doesnt matter now sold the bike anyway. enjoy the weekend what ever you are up too. Regards Glenn👍

[@thelikeablerider8800]

You got another bike coming?

[@DanceMusic1957]

no shaun sadly not,since i moved here all the speed controls and heavy fines just spoilt it all for me, so the bike stayed covered up and hardly moved in years so i just sold it...i do miss it though.😥😥@@thelikeablerider8800

[@BulldogGaz]

A motorbikers curiosity, we get a new bike and the first thing we do is take it apart, I was a bit luckier with mine didn't have to remove quite so much as you, nice job m8 👍😊

Love all the boxes in the garage, time to bang all the contents on the bike

Plenty more to come Pete👍😜

[@lawriemoto]

Good job, I must admit I wasn’t as thorough with wires, used a coat hanger wire to pull a two core through the frame and tucked the small transformer behind the rubber boot thing under the head stock, I found the zumo xt a bit Shakey up there might need to get that bracket you bought, thanks for the links 👍

[@thelikeablerider8800]

The shaking can't really be avoided, mounting it to the screen bracket. Mounting it to the bars or the bar clamp is another option, but then you limit your options for using a tank bag, and as it stand only a limited few of my SWMOTECH tanks will fit on this bike.

[@DukeJohnny]

I'm very much interested in getting a GT PRO/Explorer next year and this gives me much joy to see that mounting the Zumo is doable with the bike (I mean I knew it's doable but the videos I've seen so far are either hazy on specifics of the mounting or just plain ugly with cables running outside of the bike's plastics, just disgusting IMO), so thank you VERY much for this one, I'm eager to see more on the Tiger from you sir! Subbed and cheers from Poland!

[@thelikeablerider8800]

Awesome to have you here, thank you for subscribing, and I'm glad the video helped you decide!👍😎

[@MW_1981]

Great timing with this video. I’m about to do the same with my Rally Explorer. Thanks for taking the time to make this video👍 Shame the phone charger option doesn’t work though!

Hope it helps you with yours, if you've got any questions, don't hesitate to bung them my way👍😜

[@davidkunce8192]

What mount did you go with?

[@thebigoaktree8401]

That channel logo is the business 👌🏾. Have nearly the same NAV set up, down to the bar from Greece - shipped to the states. Held off purchasing that TT lock. Just wasn’t inclined to leaving my Nav on the bike at all. I have a moto pump “locking plate mount” locking used loosely😅. I remove the Zumo when I am leaving the bike. It’s a pain. Will pick up the TT mount over winter and try and catch it on sale. Great wiring job. I had the upper CB’s installed so I didn’t go through the trouble of removing them to be able to remove the panels etc. But it is pretty clean. Thoughts on why the lack of power to the under seat charger, and back on in the morning? I always wanted to use that for my Nav as well. Let us know what you find! Cheers. Cheers.

[@thelikeablerider8800]

No idea why the socket now works, I can't imagine the sav nat overloaded it, as they don't draw much power at all. I'll probably keep it the way I have untill I ever need the extra port. The thunderbox will also cut the power is something overloads so you won't even blow a fuse that way.

[@MOTOUK1]

Keep using your thunder box as the phone charger is intermittent for some reason. Sometimes mine works sometimes not. I think the Satnav needs to draw more than the phone point can give. I will wire mine now using the thunder box

[@thelikeablerider8800]

You might be right! I'll probably keep it this way for now, as everything works a treat this way.

[@garthmctavish7335]

Good job 😎 👍 put handlebars and back rest on my new bike. Cost me $500 at the dealers

[@thelikeablerider8800]

I'd have probably been charged 4 hours of work for sure at the dealer.

[@falseneutral7890]

I feel your pain mate, I was installing the cables for the Garmin on my Gen 1 Explorer once. Not using the thing anymore so I’ve hidden the cradle behind the windshield, can’t be bothered to take it out again 😂 You need to take apart half of the bloody bike 🫣

[@thelikeablerider8800]

Its a real treat, and probably even worse if your break stuff🤦‍♂️🤣🤣

[@rajugeorge2312]

is it worth it , or should we take it to some workshop , looks like hard work , got my rally pro last week

[@kyleturner6829]

I ordered the sumitomo connector from your link. I managed to take off the factory connector, but am I supposed to take off the entire connector? I can not get the new one to fit into it. What am I doing wrong?

[@dalehawkes1698]

Hi Shaun nice one probably a silly question why didn’t you just fit the locking XT mount straight onto your New Cross bar you brought instead of that other part u have . On my GSA the tourateck locking bit bolts straight to thesat nav crossbar bud looking forward to all the other bolt on bit’s coming in the future videos bud🎉

[@thelikeablerider8800]

For looks more than anything, was worried that it would be too low and impede the dash. The SW just gave me more options as you can adjust it more.

[@frankmoralesiii6908]

I wish there was a mount system that does not involve the wind screen. Geesh!

[@thelikeablerider8800]

Unfortunately, it is not possible on this bike to mount a Sat Nav above the dash without connecting to the screen adjuster.

[@terenceokeeffesmotorcyclestuff]

There are electronic fuses on most of the Tiger circuits. You probably just overloaded that circuit and it automatically resets after a while. It might not be rated high enough for sat nav power?

[@thelikeablerider8800]

I haven't checked since, I'll keep it powered through the Thunderbox for now👍😜

[@johanthorn1968]

Nice video all along! :D So, I'm about to go down this route but would also like to connect the 12v socket (next to the TFT) to the thunderbox. Guess that means a bit of wire cutting to begin with.. But since being an electrical idiot, you wouldn't happen to know whether I should get the TB-U02 or if the 01 is adequate? Cheers!

[@thelikeablerider8800]

The socket next to the TFT is always live, and isn't switched, so not sure what you'll get from connecting it to a Thunderbox.

[@user-fv1576]

I have a tiger 900 , also plan to remove the phone tray to make room. Notice the 1200 is different under the seat. Since removing phone tray do you have any water Ingress to battery area or other electrics? There’s a tool tray on the 900 covering the battery . Is the battery on the 1200 covered?

[@thelikeablerider8800]

Doesn't make any difference with water ingress, but I did add a blanking socket to the power port, as I'm still not yet using the socket.

hows the TFT compared to the S1000XR? I bought a thunderbox to install the Quad lock wireless charging system, best thing ever for my XR :)

Looks like the sumitomo connector is out of order, or I'm just not able to purchase it. Can you link me to another one I can use? I want to avoid using a thunder box for right now.

[@thelikeablerider8800]

I did have to hunt about for them myself, Unfortunately, I don't have the link anymore! Think I risked some dodgy website from China🥴 your local dealer should have them, or be able to order some for you.

No none at all! Just need to make sure everything is nicely tighten up and it'll stay put.

[@ashleygwilt3313]

Do Evo tech not do Sat Nav mount for the 1200? Did you test ride the 900? just wondered why you choose the 1200 over the 900?

[@thelikeablerider8800]

They do, but I've seen that it's mounted much higher than I'd like. It would probably stick out over the top of the screen.

[@pauladkin8032]

Morning, just for you info really, I connected my Garmin up to the rear phone charger socket under the pillion seat as you attempt to do. Bizarrely it immediately made the bike misfire and the engine light flicked in and off!! removed the the new connection and it ran fine again!! Checked my connecting skills and that was all good so f$ck nose what’s going on with that power outlet!! stick to the thunderbox!!

[@thelikeablerider8800]

Do you think the Gamin draws more power than the socket can handle? Seems it has worked fine for other people.

Nice work mate & liking the new Rally Pro! Fella I remember watching one of your vids a long time back, with the Super Duke R, and I was super impressed with the way you had your ZumoXT mounted above your left hand on the handlebars & I've been trying my damnedest to figure out how you pulled it off & using what equipment to do so! I've got the same gen 3 SDR & a 1290 SAS and I invested in a ZumoXT a while back now but not gotten round to fitting the cradles to both bikes such that I can attach the Zumo to them. Did you use any specific mounts for your awesome Garmin positioning on your old SDR? I'm certainly interested in copying your solution as it makes the most sense for the SDR, I'm also wanting to attach a cradle to my SAS but that is relatively easy as I already have a bar above the dash to position it, I just need the cradles... in your experience are the Garmin connectors that the ZumoXT attaches to via the square on the back of the device sufficiently sturdy & robust enough to maintain a secure hold of the device while riding? I don't know why but I look at the connector square on the rear of the Zumo and can't help but doubt it's ability to remain affixed while riding, both in the direct wind blast on the SDR & over the fire road style unevenness of roads & forest trails on the SAS! All the best with your new Triumph pal, it's a proper bit of kit, I was thoroughly impressed with it when I took one for a test ride at my local dealer here in Spain! Cheers 🍻

[@thelikeablerider8800]

Hi Thanks for your question! I use RAM mounts (you can find them on ebay and Amazon) you'll need three parts! A RAM ball joint that I screwed into the mirror stem, a RAM arm, and a RAM garmin mounting plate (which also has a ball joint on the back. It's a bit hard to explain but it will become apparent once you've found them online. It's the same system that I use to mount my camera on the handlebars.

[@foxtrot.tango.whisky]

Thanks for the reply mate... So RAM themselves make a Garmin ZumoXT connector that allows you to just snap the Zumo on using the square attachment on the rear of the device (and it provides power too, the RAM connector)? Your idea on the SDR to screw it into the hole where the OEM mirrors attach is bloody brilliant, that never even occurred to me and I have bar-end mirrors too so I wouldn't even need to sacrifice a mirror to implement that trick 👌 I'm still somewhat confused though, if the RAM kit provides secure, power-delivering mounting connections that simply connect to the ZumoXT via the same, square click-connect that Garmin uses, then what is the deal with the "cradle" implementation that you've gone with on the new Triumph? Actually, come to think of it I am seeing a fair few people lately using the same bulky-edged, clamp-style cradle and I'm wondering if perhaps that system is specific to the newer ZumoXT 2? Wow, it's kinda ridiculous how far off the mark I am with this! No wonder my ZumoXT is still in its box having never even been switched on, let alone used on a bike trip... pretty embarrassing really! 🫣 Sorry to be persistently dropping essay-length questions too mate, and disguising them as comments hahaha... I'm just genuinely stuck, the penny still hasn't dropped, and before pulling the trigger on RAM setups for two separate bikes requiring very different approaches, I'm trying to ensure I've been able to understand the requirements... for example, can the right RAM mount/piece/part be screwed straight into the thread where the mirrors used to attach or was that something you fashioned from concocting your own starter piece for the mirror stem thread so that the RAM mount could then be attached/clamped to your design of initialising the starter piece via screwing a bolt into said thread? I'll stop here, I'm aware I began to take the Michael five paragraphs ago 🤐😉 Cheers again fella, and thanks again for taking the time to address my initial comment (& my apologies for not clocking the setup technique from your reply, that's all on me mate and in no way a reflection of any sort of fault on your end)!

Are you going to change the exhaust, to make it sound even better...??? Or are you happy with the stock sound..??

[@thelikeablerider8800]

I'm happy with sound and the looks of the stock pipe tbh. If I want to use luggage I'm limited on what I can get, as not all with fit. Haven't ruled it out though, so may still look into it.

[@MW_1981]

Akrapovic have released an end can for this bike that allows the luggage to fit perfectly. It’s over £1000 though and won’t make much difference to the sound. I consider it but then decided it’s probably not worth the money.

[@thelikeablerider8800]

That's the problem with Euro 5 bikes these days, end cans are pretty expensive and don't really make a difference to the sound.

[@robames4]

Did you use the white wire ignition wire to make it switched. Or is this done straight from the battery

[@thelikeablerider8800]

The Healtech Thunderbox that connected it to is switched👍
