Re: tom tom rider v2- has any one got one of these ?
I have the v1 and have found little problem with it although never had to deal with tom tom. I had to swivel the clutch and brake down though so the mount cleared the tank but this made for a better riding position for me anyway

Where do they mount? I'm also thinking of getting one, but the logical place to put it is bang where my steering damper is.

I don't know what fittings come with the v2 but the v1 came with loads of options. I have mine fitted onto the clamp for the front brake. If I remeber I'll take a pic tomorrow and post it

Re: tom tom rider v2- has any one got one of these ?
Yes it does, a proper bike one is water proof n shock proof so will last longer (hopefully). I use mine in the car most of the time (with the car kit) and take it on the bike once in a while and tend to only use it to get home after I have riden to nowhere for the fun of it.
Here is a pic I took today - as I remembered on the borders ride out whilst pedro was fixing his gear leaver - of the mount to my V1 tomtom rider:

I've got one. It's mounted on the clutch clamp. The mount looks totally different to the one 5hort5 has. I'll try and remember to take a pic tomorrow.

Re: tom tom rider v2- has any one got one of these ?
There is extra software you can use with your Rider2 so you can record your trips and put them onto Google earth, which is cool to keep.
 Tomtom are about to update the Rider2 software this month. |
