Didn't you receive the mount with it? The integral mount is the only way to go.

I like the handlebar mount that comes with the Nav II as well, had it up and running in just a few minutes. Others use a shelf above the dash, which keeps your gaze closer to the road. Search this site for info, there have been many prior threads.....

There's a bagillion GPS mounts out there right now. I like the idea of the GPS over the clocks but I've heard the Motorrad mounts vibrates and the heavy duty Cyclegadget mount cost a mint.

I ordered a Zumo today with the Cyclegadget lower Universal bracket with base plate II. It will mount where the Navigator II and III mounts. I'm getting the XM antenna attachment so I thought the above the clocks position would conflict with the windscreen.

I probably would have went to the "above the clocks" location if it wasn't for the XM antenna.

I think the Motorad mount can be purchased separately....try Sierra BMW, etc. It is the bomb, IMHO, because it mounts right where the handlebars attach, works even with bar-backs (which I also have), has four extra buttons which are large, and allow you to zoom in or out and perform other functions on the GPS without touching the screen, even with gloves on, and it has a power hookup which plugs right into the accessory jack just forward of the handlebars. Finally, it has a miniplug audio out jack that allows the GPS access into your intercom system, if you have one, so it can talk to you while you ride. I love it, and recommend the purchase.

The part number for the BMW NAV II bracket for the R-RT is 71 60 7 659 402. MSRP is $135.00. Chicago BMW sells it for $108.
