Well...Merry Christmas to me! I've been working on my Healtech GIPro-ATRE mount for my Rocket touring over the last several days and finally finished it up today. I thought I would post some pictures of the design and how it will be mounted. It is mounted between the two halves the handlebar clamp with space to spare for full tightening of the clamp. The aluminum was tough to bend and the mount sets just a little higher than I wanted above the handlebar clamp, but I am not about to do it all over again. Perhaps a more compact redesign will take place at a later date as I am currently sick of working on it!
I used some .062 ...303 aluminum sheet, a small piece of .187 x 1.500 flat bar, and did a lot of cutting, bending, drilling, filing, sanding and buffing. I split a grommet for the cable feed through the hole I drilled. The flat bar is mounted to the bracket on the back side with 2 flat head screws and the custom cover I fashioned is held on with 4 stainless 4-40 allen head screws. I'm still looking for some 4-40 button head screws. It cost less than $20 to make, but took about 8 hours of my time since it was my first effort. My redesign will go faster.
