701 Satnav Mount options

[Biker 1]

Asking for a mate:
He has a Husky 701 Supermoto, last year's model with the Casio-esque speedo. It seems KTM 690 range is pretty much identical, & their Powerparts satnav mount should fit straight onto the handlebars above the yokes.

Q: is the speedo actually visible when fitting, say, a Garmin Zumo on this mount? Any KTM/Husky owners here have any experience with this set up? It all looks a bit tight.......

Looking at some photos, it seems the centre mount could block the instrument cluster. Also, have a think about if you will ever want to use a tank bag.

On my 950SM, I found the best mount for it was to the side, next to the review mirror. Not the sexiest, but definitely the most "useful". I've got a center bar mount on my r9T, and it ever so slightly blocks the clusters, but annoyingly it prevents using a bar bag or even a tank bag.

Hopefully not an iPhone (unless you don't use your camera).

Also bear in mind some of these mounts, through vibration, can break the stabilisation sensors in the phones camera. I use a tank bag with a window and have had no vibration issues.
