What have you stuffed/mounted behind your windscreen?

setasai · November 30th, 2011, 10:21 PM

I'm currently in the process of figuring out how to fit a rearview camera LCD and my GPS behind the windscreen above the dash and it got me wondering what other people have been able to creatively fit in that small space.

Pictures preferably but a detailed description of what you fit and how you fit it would be adequate.

....... Ok...... go!

leed · November 30th, 2011, 11:19 PM

I put my garage opener there for a while..

And if I ever get around to wiring in a USB outlet (too lazy right now..) I will mount my phone there.

Indy250r · December 1st, 2011, 06:27 AM

I usually have a hat stuck in there.

I have used that space to carry take out food back to work too.

dulplay · December 1st, 2011, 06:39 AM

It's where I keep my wallet.

saxnbass · December 1st, 2011, 10:54 AM

I always put small mail in there when I check my mail on the way home instead of walking out at the end of the day to check it. I've also put my glove liners and a washing sponge in there.

I saw someone that keeps a Kermit the Frog plush in there, I thought that was awesome.

setasai · December 1st, 2011, 11:36 AM

Awesome... keep'em coming! It's like a 2nd trunk. To some of us, even more useful than the actual trunk.

alex.s · December 1st, 2011, 04:51 PM

i used to put hats there. stopped after i lost one on the freeway. it was my favorite too T_T

gadgetguy1288 · December 2nd, 2011, 02:35 AM

My GPS will get mounted in there once I wire it in, but other than that nothing yet. Unless you count gloves when I'm not on it.

Havok · December 2nd, 2011, 03:23 AM

My gloves

With my huge-mongous ZG touring windscreen, I can put my FastLane transponder, my GPS, and my cool-looking but not terribly useful clock/thermometer/compass thingamajigger in there all at once!

Once I got my GPS mounted, I didn't really need a clock or a compass, of course, and the thermometer doesn't work very well. Oh well. It looks sweet, and that's half the fun of farkles!

miss_syn · December 3rd, 2011, 11:52 AM

I put a drink in there, a take out food container, sunglasses, gloves, candy bars, jerky, and lip gloss.

saxnbass · December 3rd, 2011, 11:53 AM

What drink did you fit in there? I can't imagine any standard bottle or can fitting in there...

A drink in a foam cup from Sonic. Although my drink got really warm really fast. Minimal squishing and no leaking.

setasai · December 3rd, 2011, 12:52 PM

Take out box sounds interesting... i've often wondered if i could fit something like that in there ... ooo oo i wonder if i can figure out a way to make a glove box type compartment over there... hmmmm let the brainstorming begin!

Brian figures out a way to have a windshield lid glove compartment.

Got a Garmin nuvi 1450 on a Ram mount...I also put my gloves up front when I have to show my ID before I enter my housing area.

Pics and details on the mount? I have a GPS, but I've yet to decide on how to best mount it.

There's videos on youtube of a company that does the rear view camera specifically for '08+ Ninja 250's.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UdvG12rvCZ8

They use a new windshield with a higher bubble to centermount a small LCD screen above the gauges, and the camera is in the stock tail just below the brake light.

That's the catch, they currently only have a system that works with the stock ginormous fender, nothing yet for people with fender eliminator kits.

that is pretty awesome

setasai · December 15th, 2011, 01:46 PM

Yea the only problem is that I have a GPS that I want to put in the same place and there just isnt enough space to fit both in there. I've spent some time here and there thinking about it but I dont know if there is a solution to a space problem.

Kurgan · December 15th, 2011, 04:30 PM

You could always mount the GPS either under the gauges or mounted to the tripletrees.

Or if you get rid of the stock gauges and use one of the Koso packages, mount the Koso offcenter to the side and mount the GPS next to it.

headshrink · December 17th, 2011, 01:22 PM

I made a bracket (aluminum angle bar and Velcro) to hold my Daytona H2O meter, Chinese gear indicator, and LED indicator for my auto-switch garage door opener relay. I also have a ball mount on the left mirror bolt that holds my elector-RAM mount for GPS. I keep the GPS power tucked, with Velcro, behind the other equipment when not in use. All this fits nicely behind my ZG DB windshield (light smoke). If the GPS is mounted, it does obstruct the other things mounted on the dash, but I rarely use the GPS, and none of it is critical. I find this ends up being the best use of all parts.

Here is a link to my GPS mount (before I added the other stuff): http://www.ninjette.org/forums/showthread.php?t=20009

Under the gauges? There isnt much space down there at all. I was avoiding the tripletree because I wanted to shield it from the elements. I thought about the Koso gauges but I'm not willing to spend $350 on gauges when I have no qualms about the stock ones.

You're setup is actually exactly what I have now except I use the right side mirror bolt. It would be kinda pointless to obstruct the rear camera when the gps is attached. I want the best of both worlds. It might not be possible but I'll continue to give it some thought. Who knows, maybe i'll figure something out.

Yay for persistence.

Kevin2109 · December 17th, 2011, 03:35 PM

I had my phone mounted there for a long time, shift light, and I put my gloves there when I stop

Minikin_Jo · October 9th, 2012, 12:36 PM

wait a minute - are you guys saying you stick things under the windshield (like food and hats) not attached to anything or secured and just ride around like that??

Yup! Its pretty secure up there! I put a water bottle up there one time and would drink out of it while riding on the freeway

bdavison · October 9th, 2012, 03:04 PM

I covered the top of the speedo with the hook side of industrial velcro. Then I put the fuzzy side on all my stuff like GPS, cellphone, camera, radar detector etc. So when I take off. I can just toss whatever up there and it wont fly out.

Top of the front brake resevoir is also covered with industrial velcro hook...My cellphone usually rides there.

jmisto · October 9th, 2012, 03:59 PM

I keep my gloves and my bandana in there when I stop.

How do you like that windscreen? Looks like something I'll consider for my winter commute to work.

Malicious Logic · October 9th, 2012, 04:45 PM

I've put a pastry from Panera up there on my way home and I usually slide my ID card in between the windscreen and the gauge console. As long as it's not going to slide around too much while you're riding, things are pretty secure up there. Windscreen = barely any wind, if any at all, most of the time.

Minikin_Jo · October 9th, 2012, 05:04 PM

I can't believe this. I had I idea. Well what do I need a back pack for? Ill just throw my purse up there.

CZroe · October 9th, 2012, 08:17 PM

I used to keep folded ball caps there but even though there didn't appear to be any wind and I could ride for hundreds of miles without issue, it would blow out every now and then. I just had to stop.

cuong-nutz · October 9th, 2012, 09:19 PM

I could have sworn I posted on this thread.....

I've had a tapioca drink, DVDs, wallet, iPhone, license plate bracket, donut holes, Kolaches, fast food to-go/take-outs, rags, and misc nuts and bolts from the hardware store. It helps to have ST windscreen

Wait, you bring an extra bag so you can put your bag inside a bag?

psych0hans · October 10th, 2012, 12:57 AM

My cap always goes there when I ride, tho on occasion my cell phone has also taken a ride in that compartment... That might change once I put in my double bubble screen, as I'll have more space to play around with...
