Here’s a question for the more tech savvy on here. I’m researching a Quad Lock* mount for my X-Town 300 and can’t decide which route to go. Easy for my Triumph as there’s an exposed handlebar to clamp to, but as you’ll know, the X-Town had its handlebars shrouded in plastic and the mirror stem is also not exposed 🙁
Any personal experiences or suggestions welcomed.

I’m leaning towards this https://www.quadlockcase.com/collections/shop-mounts/products/bike-mount?variant=179963062 but would like to avoid unsightly zip ties!

Update: After a further look at the mirror stem, I’m going to try the mirror mount for this device as it should clamp around the rubber casing on the stem OK. See https://www.quadlockcase.co.uk/collections/shop-mounts/products/mirror-mount-motorcycle-scooter?variant=38928185810
I’ll let you know in a few days how it’s gone.

I recently changed out the Ram XGrips on the SYM to Quadlock.
Since I had existing Ram mirror base mounts and arms I just picked up the appropriate cases, & their ram mount with the anti vibration piece.
So in order bottom to top (cuz I'm too lazy to get a pic)

I was looking for a way to mount my GPS. I believe this is called Cockpit GPS mounting bracket. I can't remember where I bought it, but it works great. It's like a mini handlebar, and mounts with the windshield attaching bolts. It fits nicely under the windshield, and even says Kymco on it.

A neat solution Mike. Now if only we knew where you got if from… 🤣

Interesting hybrid solution there Tromper. Waste not, want not?

I found it. Go to Moto Discovery.com. It's called a cockpit GPS bracket, and it's made specifically for the X-town.

To a point yes of course, but it also gives a better position than just the mirror mount.
Additionally SWMBO found that the arm makes a dandy handle and stand for the phone.

I’ll have a look at that, thanks Mike 👍🏼

Not sure what brought this to mind....
10 years ago when I mentioned that I was going to install a tachometer on my LIKE200i the old hands told me not to do it. "taking your eyes off of the road will get you killed!"
,...........................................................................
Never suffered from the fear of not knowing where I was.
But, early days yet....🙃

Don’t worry on that score Stig. It’s only for that very rare (like last weeks jaunt to Yorkshire) occasions when quick access to a SatNav app would be handy. I never take calls or listen to music when riding!

Thanks so much for that Mike. Order placed today - eMail reply by return to say item despatched!!
Update: And such a good job I did, as I road tested the mirror mount today and got way too much shake on it - thanks no doubt to the X-Town's rubber mirror stem shroud! Bar mount for GPS bracket will be ordered next week. Time to see how good the Quad Lock after sales service is?

I'm sure you will be very happy with it. Let me know.

Be sure I will Mike.
