BAM! Ask and ye shall receive! LOL Here is a thread with the info you want,

http://hyperstrada.com/mechanical-technical/200-switched-power-connection-gps-etc.html

You have 2 options to hardwire it to the bike. With either option make sure that you use the gps wiring/connector and not the one for heated grips. The gps wiring is live from the factory, the heated grip wiring has to be enabled by the dealer.

1. you would cut the connector off of the gps wiring on the bike and splice the gps wiring in to the bikes switched gps wiring.

2. you buy the proper wiring connector and pins and crimp the pins to the gps wiring, insert pins into the plug and plug it in to the bikes gps plug.

I went with option 2. It took a couple tries to crimp the pins properly onto the gps wiring but I bought some extra pins just in case and they came in handy(they're supr cheap anyways so buy extras). Post #54 in the linked thread above has info on how to add the plug to your gps wiring(what plug and pins you need). I did have to zip tie the inline black box on the gps wiring to the lower triple(there was just no room for it behind the headlight) and I haven't had any issues with it at all.

Mounts...
My GPS cam with a RAM ball mount that I mounted to the handlebars. There are a lot of different options for mounts out there but RAM seems to have a great rep and I've never had any issues with either of mine, I have the gps mount and the x-mount for my phone.

Hey man,
can I ask you to help me understand how to do this?
I am not an expert and it would be the first time I open my dash on my Hyper so I just want to be sure I'm doing the right thing.

I have a Garmin Nuvi that we don't use anymore and found a RAM mount that works with it:

Which cable do I have to buy to connect this to the GPS plug?
This should work:

But then how do I connect it?
I am a little lost with your PINs description...

Thank you in advance for your help!
