GPS attachment?

There is this one for $78.

SW-MOTECH Vibration-Damped Quick Release GPS Holder (Kawasaki Ninja 1000 '11-) - TwistedThrottle.com

I have my Zumo attached to a RAM mount device that screws into the clutch bar.
From there I can either use a short or long RAM extension arm to raise it to the appropriate height.

I use the RAM mount hole in the triple tree for my cell phone.

True that there is not a lot of handle bar free space to mount devices but it can be done.

Can you show us some pictures?
Thanks...

I have fitted the bracket of the type that screws into the gas tank filler cap. Then I put a double cigarette lighter socket under the seat and a relay by the toolkit. The relay runs off the registration plate light and takes 150milliamps. The power feed to the relay contacts is via a 5amp in line fuse

The cable is routed behind the fairing by pushing it in - no fairing removal necessary - it pops up in front of the tank

My tomtom has the radio connection that shows traffic jams etc, so I bought a spare lead and wired it into the bike permanently

As soon as I turn on the ignition, the number plate light comes on and I hear a click from the relay under the rear seat and the GPS is live ! No switches coz I would forget those

I have 1 mile on the clock now from going up and down the drive. Bloody Wisconsin winter - come on 50 F !

This will fit 2011 (and thus presumeably 2013) N1K's:

This is how mine is set up on my 2011 Ninja 1000. Works good. So far it has been flawless on a few 500+ mile rides. Holds steady up to 100+ mph also so I've been told.

Holds steady at 135 mph, did myself

Everything is hooked up via a Twisted Throttle Power Hub. The GPS and Heated gear are running on a switched connection through the power hub. Which means they only operate while the bike is running. The Cigarette lighter plug in and the Battery Tender plug in are connected to the power hub using a constant power connection. This means they are always on. For the battery tender it means I can charge the battery and the cigarette lighter plug in can be used the run air pump, charge my cellphone or my SENA Bluetooth unit without the bike running. The entire power hub has a 30 AMP fuse in the positive lead and each one of the four things has its own fuse in the power hub which is either in the switched or constant power position.

I like this setup - you should get a commission on purchases of the C14-07 RAM ball.

i have a ram mount ball on my left handlebar inside the grip. works out very well.

Has anyone figured out how to attach a GPS mount? There is a device to go down the hole in the middle of the triple tree but getting to the key would then be problematic.

I bought a 1/4" x 18" headless bolt, screwed the bottom on after I pushed it through from the top, then pulled it up high and pushed rest of RAM mount kit down to fit like it was supposed to. I then cut off the top of the bolt. It was few dollars for the locking nuts, locking washers and solid nut jig that I cobbled together. I blew over $100 on other "made to fit ninja 1000" gps holder kits then gave up and just made that rig as described.
