Here are photos of how to remove the central panel with BMW emblem . Photos provided by Jake at Concord (CA) BMW motorcycles. I can mount the Garmin on my RAM mounts and have GPS and XM satellite radio. Wonderful while riding on the Russell day long seat and bark busters keeping bugs off my gloves.
I'd like to do what you did, but the teeeny photos don't show enough detail. I see the RAM ball (apparently RAM® 9mm Angled Bolt Head Adapter Ball Base Part#: RAM-B-272U) and flange nut on top, with a large washer underneath. Is that a carriage bolt mating with the flange nut?Hopefully, the photos I wanted to attach above will appear hereView attachment 2840View attachment 2841View attachment 2842View attachment 2844

Did you make any other modifications to the central panel?
Same teeny 240x320 pixel photo, which doesn't allow me to see details. From your comment about popping the panel loose, I'm guessing you didn't make any mods to the attachments between the panel and the bike. I'd be interested to know if your panel has ever popped loose.Here is the photo of the underside of the center panel. Watch out that you do not put too much weight as it may pop the panel loose when you hit a bump. I also put some foam rubber under the zumo to stop vibrations.
