K1200 / K1300 Forum / Swapping out the Navigator
« on: March 26, 2024, 03:29:23 pm »
Good Afternoon Forum Knowledgeables !

I collected my 1300S and knew when I purchased it, that it had a cradle mounted for a Navigator (not sure which version) - but no navigator.
It is fixed on the battery cover and whoever fitted it decided to drill a nice circular cut out (3cm in diameter) in the cover and then fit screws through the cover also.
My plan to remove the navigator and replace the panel took a bit of a knock this morning given a replacement battery cover seems to run at between 95 and 180 of my finest quids.

I wondered if it was possible therefore to remove the navigator mount and maintain the "sub-mount" (the bit that is actually fixed through the battery cover) and use it to connect to a mobile phone mount. I can then attach my phone and use googly maps etc etc.

Anyone trodden this path before ?

Many thanks

Andy

Goooood Morning Alll !

New to the forum and new to the K1300S and Beemers generally !
Previous rides: Honda CBR1000F, and then another Honda CBR1000F (because I liked it)
Then I offed the CBR on a roudabout and migrated to old Jaguars... which fortunately the wife hated more the motorbikes...
So - I came home...  A Triumph rocket was integrated to the garage collection.
I have enjoyed the rocket, its a cross between a Rhinocerous and an armchair, but I still miss the precision that the old Super Sports Tourer offered.
A quick tour on a friends K1300S last year and that was the decision made !
I take delivery this weekend of a beautiful machine !

Looking forward to trawling the site for words of wisdom and basic maintenance tips  8)

Currently living in France just to the south of Paris.

Abientot !

Andy
