Sat nav locking plate for BMW 1000XR

[Pete 3161]

Hi all
I have just fitted the locking onto the standard sat nav mount you get with the bike it is very easy to do and you don't have to take it of every time you leave your bike you have to tilt satnav to lock and unlock it but I will sort that out latter hear are all the numbers you'll need and at £38 it's cheap

That's great Peter, I live fairly close by at aspull.  I have a bike on order, ready to pick up from tomorrow and that's one of the first jobs to do I think.  If I have any bother I'll contact you if that's ok
Roger.

Yes no problem roger glad it's helped some one 
Ps  get your self some bolts 4x  ( M4  40mm )  from tool store or BQ as the standard bolts are to short  and I put 2 thick rubber  tap washers underneath
Each bolt but it wasn't enough need thicker so I don't need to tilt to lock / unlock so get your self some M4 50mm bolts as well

Great info, thanks.  I assume you can set the key tumbler to match the bike like you can on the BMW panniers?

Yes, you can, but the key is quite fiddly in the lock as there's not much room. I got a small plastic key from BMW.

If you order it from Williams in Manchester the very helpful parts sales lady done mine for me it took her about 4 minutes  just give her my key and I went and got a coffee come back and it was done awesome
  ( Always remember ASK  ). As they normally do all the panniers &stop boxes for the GS

So if i am doing this do I need to get the 4 button cradle with my Nav V as well or does the locking GS cradle take the place of the otehr cradle?  My bike ahs the mount for teh Nav V on it already nut no cradle.  Dealer I bought the bike from will do the Nav V for $619 plus shipping or with the 4 button cradle for $649.  About a 22% discount.  This is Las Vegas BMW if anyone is looking for one.  Not sure if i am going to wait for teh VI (most likely at this point) but I need to understand exactly what I need aside from this list of parts.  And thanks for all the info.  Just realized almost everyone here is in England...D'oh!  The US forum still won;t let me on.  They must ahve heard of me.  LOL.  Plus you cheeky bastards are more fun anyway.

Pete,
Am I right in thinking this is everything I need to fit the nav to the XR standard holder or do I need an extra surrounding fitting, can you post a picture of it on your bike.

Cheers, Rob

Yes rob if you have the SE model you get the basics for satnav so you just put your BMW satnav on it and away you go with the info iv put on you can lock it in place so no scumbag can walk of with it
