On my review on the Vaishnu LED touring headlight, many of you had asked me about the gps setup on the Triumph Scrambler 400X so I thought I’ll make a separate blog on it. Thanks for your interest.
Now to give credit where it’s due, this setup isn’t my original idea. I got inspired from a channel called Chennai Vlogger and he had a similar setup on his scrambler and so i thought I should try it out. And it works!
It’s fairly simple. First I got the windshield and it’s bracket from Triumph itself. It costs around 2.5k INR. I got the windshield a smoke black sticker from a local sticker shop which costs around 300 INR.
Next I got the gps holder for RE Interceptor 650 from Bizen. It attaches to the headlight screw and you can give an additional screw to the windshield bracket so that it sits tight. It costs around 1500 INR
Next I got BM 10H pro phone holder from Bobo which I’ve attached to the gps mount.
Pros of touring GPS setup for Triumph Scrambler 400X
Now the beauty of the whole setup is that the phone or any gps device for that matter sits right below the line of sight when you’re touring. This makes viewing the map much easier than having in installed anywhere else.
When you wear touring helmets it’s often difficult to tilt your head and keep looking down. I’ve had some close calls in city traffic where I’ve got distracted looking at the navigation. Here when it’s just below the line of sight, you don’t need to tilt your head. Just a glance below and you’ll have the maps for access.
Cons of touring GPS setup for Triumph Scrambler 400X
The only downside to this current setup is that it covers the speedometer a little at the top. I don’t mind that and if it’s matter of concern, use a smaller phone holder or even better, a carplay device.
