The RCU Designs Accessory Shelf for the K1200LT is ideal for mounting a radar detector, GPS unit, a garage door opener or whatever you might think of that will mount on the 4” x 10” surface. The shelf is supported directly over the speedometer and tach by the included 'U' bracket and protrudes over the front edge of the dash. Shelf and brackets are machined from aircraft-quality, aluminum alloy and painted in black powder coat for an unbelievably tough and long-lasting finish. Screws and nuts are black, zinc-plated for corrosion resistance. The shelf can be easily drilled to mount your accessories or many users have found that adhesive-backed, industrial-strength, hook and loop material will satisfy their needs. A side benefit is the shading provided by the shelf to reduce the sun's glare on your instruments plus the reduction of the instrument lighting glare on your windshield. There are no holes to drill as existing holes are used for all brackets.
