Kawasaki H2 SX SE - Installing Garmin zūmo XT/XT2 holder

Mounting a navigation holder on certain motorcycles can present a challenge, particularly when dealing with models that lack traditional handlebars. Thankfully, there are versatile holders available that can be affixed to the fork stem, mirrors, screens, and various other locations. However, the real challenge lies in establishing a power supply without compromising the motorcycle’s original wiring, while ensuring the installation is both safe and tidy. My preferred method involves connecting the power supply to an existing connector that offers switched voltage. Some motorcycles, like the Kawasaki H2 SX SE, come equipped with dedicated accessory wiring. This particular model features a lighter power outlet, which I consider the optimal spot for attaching navigation power supply wires.

Triumph Rocket 3 - Installing Garmin zūmo XT/XT2 holder

The 2024 Triumph Rocket 3 Storm R comes equipped with a basic navigation system, accessible through a communication module (part number A9820200) and a smartphone application. This setup provides directional arrows and voice-guided turn-by-turn instructions, but lacks a detailed map view. For more complex routing needs, alternative solutions may be necessary. Having previously used a Garmin Zumo XT2 with my BMW K 1600 GT, I decided to adapt it for use with the Rocket 3.
