Base Plate I

Base Plate I was originally designed to accommodate Garmin "Dashboard Mount" (Black elliptical locking mechanism) Garmin P# 010-10199-02. “Base Plate I” installed on the crossbar of motorcycle handlebars via two clamps. Different motorcycles have different diameter crossbars. “Base Plate I” is made to clamp on 1/2” diameter rod. There fore the difference in diameters should be compensated with shims (GadgetGuy P# AMI0015SSS).

“Base Plate I” also can be utilized for installation of the radar detectors or any other gadgets you can think of. For example, Garmin P# 010-10259-00 comes with a button, which could be easily attached to “Base Plate III” (GadgetGuy P# ABP00003-0101) by utilizing a threaded insert in the center of the button. This attachment should be permanently sealed by Epoxy glue. Garmin P# 010-10259-00 comes with two adhesive dicks “temporary” and “permanent”. “Temporary” dick can be used for attaching Dashboard Mount to “Base Plate I” and “Permanent” dick can be used for attaching Garmin Button/”Base Plate III” assembly to the bottom of radar detector. Garmin Permanent Adhesive Dicks are excellent for attachments. When Garmin says permanent, it means permanent. Just make sure that the bonding surfaces are flat and clean. Four pictures below whow sample of installation of Escort radar detector.
