BMW R1150GS Navigation Phone Bracket

Bracket to hold bar for your navigation or phone on BMW R1150 GS motorcycle.

Important note: This bracket is made for -street- use. If your navigation / phone is heavy and you will be riding a lot of offroad-ing, the vibrations of heavier cockpit might crack and damage the cockpit support frame. Bear that in mind.

The bracket is made to use (aluminium) bar of diameter 15 mm, 1 mm thickness and 150 mm length with press fitted (the more pressure required, the better) inserts at both ends. I had most success with 13.20 mm inserts, but there are several more to print if you have trouble with loose fit of the insert in the tube.

Hardware

• 1x 150 mm long 15x1 mm aluminium tube
• 2x M6x30 DIN 912 Bolts (with hex head) - to attach bar to bracket
• 2x M5x25 DIN 912 Bolts (with hex head) - to attach bracket to cockpit

Print

• At least PETG, ASA preferred - it is be used outside, PLA will not hold against the temperature and sun over time.
• At least 7 perimeters.
• 25% infill with gyroid.

Instalation

• Print both arms as displayed below (note - arms are NOT mirrored, the cover is asymetric):

• Remove original M5x12 bolts holding instruments cover.
• Place some 1mm tape on the side, which will touch the outside of the cover - it will act as additional bumper / damper:

• Press fit the inserts into both ends of the 15x1 mm tube (length 150 mm).
• Press the tube into both arms and secure it firmly with M6x30 bolts.
• Slide the bracket with securing “little arms” first at the edge of the cover and the rotate it down to the holes.
• Place the M5x25 bolts to hold both bracket and cover and tighten it securely.
• Tighten securely the M6 bolts.
• Add whatever accessory you want …
• … and rubber side down.
