I needed something to mount my TomTom Urban Rider to my KTM
690 Enduro Modell Year 2015
and I like to build stuff... so I started with this basic piece of sheet metal
It probably fits all newer KTM 690 Enduro / SMC / LC4. The
4 bolts that hold the handlebar have to have a distance of 38,5 mm in driving
direction
and 90,45 mm in handle bar direction
This will fit to all the curren TomTom Urban Rider
Models...
4 pin connector and 6 pin connector
KTM690 baseplate
This picture shows how the sheet metal piece needs to be
bend...
the bend areas are shown and the mid line of the bend is the pink dotted line
This bending is neede
in order to give the screws some distance to be clear from the handlebar
The rubber bumpers insulate the TomTom from vibrations and harsh bumps from
sporty riding.
Crash proof. See the testing :-)

The whole thing mounts to the bike with the 4 screws that
hold the handlebar
The picture above shows the mounted rubber bumpers.
If you want to mount a different navigation system than the TomTom Urban Rider
you need to build a simple adapter plate.
The picture below shows how the RIMA-Lock
is fitted to the KTM Mount.
This lock allows you to leave your bike and your TomTom alone when you go for refreshing drink or an
icecream.
This will prevent a quick theft...
How much is it ?
Well... since this is a project that I do for fun, my only real cost factor is my precious time.
The most time consuming effort lies in the shortening of
the thread ends of the rubber bumpers...
they need to be shortened differently on both sides
(I need to measure and put mm here)

In Germany legal rules apply for online-orders: Widerrufsrecht and I assume something similar exists in other countries in the world...
The RIMA-Lock is 35 EUR... inluding postage... click on this RIMA-Lock link and have a look at it.
A word of advise : the threads that are inside the
TomTom active docking mount are brittle...
when you look closely at the fit of the metal inserts into the plastic you see a
fine gap
use crazy glue to put in the gap... that improves the rigidity significantly...
do not use locktite to fix screw that go in there... you
will pull out the thread insert
when you try to loosen the srews...
The rubber bumbers are automatically tightened nicely to
the active mount
when you screw on the locking nuts... when the nuts are tightended untighten
them for 1/8th of a turn so the rubber bumber does not get twisted too much
I put some chain grease on the bolts and the top contact surface - see below
Torx T40 needed to unscrew... or cranked ring wrench
Here you can see how the sheet metal nicely mounts with the 4 bolts...
due to the limited space you need to tighten the bolts with a cranked ring
wrench Metric 10mm SW
These are my proving grounds
