BMW Laptop Pivot Mount w/Optional Printer Enclosure

$235.00
Adapting laptop computers to motorcycles has been a challenge for years. Space on a police motor is always at a premium, yet all agencies want to utilize as much common equipment as possible, including laptops. Additionally, agencies are faced with the logistical issues of using the laptop, while wanting to keep an eye on the violator and not standing with your back to approaching traffic. FMS Accessories has developed a pivot mounting that allows the laptop to be opened and rotate around the radio box, enabling better positioning of the officer relative to the violator and traffic. Select the laptop mount type as well as the base plate mount type. Low profile printer housing shown in several photos is optional. Select roll paper spindle diameter based on your agency paper supplier. Brother PocketJet Printer not included.

Adapting laptop computers to motorcycles has been a challenge for years.  Space on a police motor is always at a premium, yet all agencies want to utilize as much common equipment as possible, including laptops.  Additionally, agencies are faced with the logistical issues of using the laptop, while wanting to keep an eye on the violator and not standing with your back to approaching traffic.  FMS Accessories has developed a pivot mounting that allows the laptop to be opened and rotate around the radio box, enabling better positioning of the officer relative to the violator and traffic. 

The laptop pivot base rotates on a 2.5" nylon bearing, which can be adjusted for drag / tension.  The laptop pivot mount comes with the standard plate for BMW RT-P radio box mounting and the Velcro mount pivot plate.  Note that the BMW radio box narrows toward the rear and will not work with a Toughbook 30 series - won't fit.  Note that you will need to remove the metal plug bracket / lighter socket and relocate the plug connections and relay block in the area provided on the base plate, as your laptop cannot be fully rotated without contacting the plugs or relays.  The base plate assembly attaches to the BMW radio box floor plate using existing fasteners (rear) and existing threaded inserts (front) for easy removal as a complete unit, reducing service times and improving access for technicians.  Download full detailed instructions under the instructions tab at the top of the website page.  Unit is shipped fully assembled.  If adding the printer housing, select the correct paper roll ID.  If in doubt, find a 1/2" drill bit.  If it slides into the paper roll without effort, your roll is 1/2".  If it must be forced or won't fit, your roll is 7/16" ID.

Free shipping is limited to the continental United States.  

Shipping charges apply to international shipments. 

Note:  The addition of this or other accessories does not change the overall load limits of your motorcycle - always adhere to the manufacturer's recommendations for loading.
