Highlights for Navigation & Communication

• - Motorcycle navigation devices with large, easy-to-read displays – ideal for glove operation, winding routes, and offline maps.
• - Smartphone holders & cases (including clamps, mirror-, handlebar-, or clamp-block mounting) – low-vibration, water-protected, and optionally with charging function.
• - Mounting systems based on RAM-ball as well as elegant solutions for mirror, clutch, or handlebar clamping – neatly integrable on your R12.
• - Communication systems for rider/pillion and group – clear voice transmission, music, navigation announcements, and telephony via Bluetooth.
• - Head-up display projecting relevant ride data into your field of view – for more focus and safety.

 

Perfectly matched to the R12 family

Whether it’s the puristic R12nineT, roadster-like R12, sporty R12S, or the off-road-inspired R12G/S – our mounts and devices integrate discreetly into the cockpit, remain stable even on rough roads, and can be ergonomically operated. Hornig ensures vehicle-specific mounting points, solid materials, and installation without makeshift solutions.

 

Buying guide: How to find the right solution

• - Usage profile: Commuting & city = compact mount + smartphone navigation; touring & vacation = dedicated motorcycle GPS with large display and glove operation.
• - Mounting point: Mirror, handlebar tube, or handlebar clamp – choose based on line of sight, available space, and desired cable routing.
• - Protection & power: Waterproof case, vibration-damping mount, and (if needed) charging function for long rides.
• - Communication: Single headset for solo riders, mesh/group systems for shared tours; pay attention to battery life and audio quality.

 

Installation & maintenance

• - Installation: Clean contact surfaces, use threadlocker, and observe recommended torque values.
• - Fine-tuning: After the first few kilometers, retighten the mount and adjust the display angle for glare-free readability.
• - Maintenance: Keep connectors dry, clean displays with mild cleaner, and occasionally check mount joints.
