Tomtom Rider
Tomtom Rider
I currently have the Navigator 5 fitted to my 2015 RT. Can the Tomtom Rider be fitted in the same position? Are the screws in the same position to mount the Tomtom bracket? Hopefully someone has successfully done it............ Thank you

Hi
Yes and no. Yes tomtom can be fitted but no the mount holes will not work.
I have done this. Mainly because i have always used Tomtoms and I didn't want to change
I removed the gamin mount unplugged the cable too. I then fashioned a hinged mount from a stainless steel hasp ( DIY shop Hasp and staple) Placing the hinge at the bottom fixed this in place of the Garmin mount (I had to drill some extra holes but they will be covered when I sell the bike by the Garmin mount which I will put back in place) Attached the Tomtom mount to the other half I had drilled the hast to accept this first. I am using neodymium magnet to hold the hing closed then used some carbon effect plastic to surround the bracket. A few pictures taken when I had done it you will also see the fuse box I fitted in behind the right speaker panel ( I have tidied this up since)

Re: Tomtom Rider
I can get some more pictures if you like.
It was pretty easy once I had the idea. Did look first with the hinge to the side but this did not provide enough swing to allow the nav head to be removed.
Ive done almost 4k since fitting it remove the nav head every day no issues so far
