Vanderhall Mounts

Last crawled date: 4 years, 2 months ago

I recently got a 2020 Vanderhall Venice GT (it is SO cool and so much fun! https://vanderhallusa.com/2020-vanderhall-venicegt-red-san-diego-029/) I put my personal touches in it (GPS, Sirius XM, switch panel, Vape Station, etc) and thought I would post what I did, just in case someone else has/gets one and wants to do the same. No Vanderhalls were harmed during the installation of these components. All were designed to use the original dash screw locations to anchor the mounts for the accessories. The License plate stand-offs allow you to mount your motorcycle license plate with the frame of your choice (Vanderhall only allowed enough space for the plate only).
A couple of them are remixes - The Garmin GPS mount combines my plate with the ball piece from the Garmin Dashcam 20 mount cited here. Simply drop my plate to the bed with the bottom on the bed and centered, then drop the ball mount into it, also centered. The vape station is also a remix, though I must apologize, I can't remember all of the items that make it up. I know it's base is a resize of the one on here designed for a Ford F250 console phone holder insert, and the mod holder is a resize of a cup holder mod holder also from here. The fluid bottle holder also comes from here, as well as the battery holder, resized to fit up to and including 21700 batteries. The switch panels shown also come from here and were modified in Customizer to fit the dimensions I needed and switch count. I also allowed extra room above the switches to allow me to drill and mount LED indicators.
The pedestal in the center between the seats holds a dashmount 2 port USB. I cut the USB A connection ends off, then hooked the power wires (red +, black -) only up to a 15 A USB buck converter, and is used to power heated clothing for my wife and I to use in the winter. WARNING - DO NOT PLUG YOUR PHONE INTO THIS TO CHARGE! IT'S POWER IS TOO HIGH AND IT WILL FRY YOUR PHONE!
I first prototyped everything in PLA, then printed the production parts in PETG once I had made the final adjustments. PETG is MUCH easier to print than ABS, and also has the required flexibility and heat resistant properties for something that will be in the sun. Most of these items are going to be subjected to road vibration, so I recommend you print with a high infill - minimum 75%.
All components used in this were procured from Amazon.
All parts that I designed were done in Fusion 360, and everything was combined/arranged/sliced in Simplify 3D.
UPDATE 1/25/20
I had a flash of inspiration after realizing I had the classic lines of the dash filled with my gadgets, so I also designed a center console, which you also see here. I moved everything off of the dash to this console, which fits quite neatly between the heater and the shifter console. All the parts are hear, as above all printed in PETG (parts this big, you really don't want to use ABS, because the WILL warp!) The are already split for larger format printers (330mm x 330mm). To get the driver side panels, simply mirror the X Axis in your slicer. Below is a list of the components used that this was designed for:
