Re: Looking for a quick disconnect mount

Hello Abowen, I just modified my BMW 1250 RT to accept my XT2 instead of my old 660. I used a RAM mount for the mount. I got the BMW power supply from the cradle of the 660 to connect the cradle XT2. I find myself facing the same problem as you: how to completely remove the cradle XT2 if I want to ...

Re: BaseCamp and Announced Route Points
