Motorcycle fitment check

Motorcycle products in the CARABC range are split three ways: model-listed products, brand-level products and universal products. The fitment check is therefore different from the car one — it starts by working out which of the three groups your motorcycle belongs to, then deals with mounting and screen size.

Step 1: check the model lists first

The DB601 is titled for R1250 GS, 1300 GS, F900 GS, F850 GS, S1000 R, R1250 R and R1250 RS. The Honda module is titled for Honda motorcycles, 2024–2026, with a further model list printed on its product image. If your motorcycle appears in a title list, that page is your starting point, and your inquiry should name the model exactly as listed.

Step 2: brand-level and universal routes

A BMW motorcycle outside the DB601 list belongs with the smart display upgrade kit, which is titled at brand level. Riders of other brands start from the universal products: the navigation screen upgrade and the DM601C display. Universal means no model list limits the listing — it does not remove the need to describe your motorcycle.

Step 3: mounting and existing equipment

Step 4: screen size and phone system

Sizes in the range include the 6 inch DM601C and the 7 inch and 6 inch formats of the GPS screen listing, compared on the size comparison page. State your phone system too — iPhone, Android, or both — since the displays are CarPlay and Android Auto products.

Sending the check

Put the model, year, mounting position, existing equipment, size preference and phone system into the inquiry form. Please confirm minimum order quantity and lead time for your order before placing an order. Riding-use background is on the blog: motorcycle phone projection in riding use. The full motorcycle range is collected on the motorcycle CarPlay screens page.

Step 5: agree the order facts

With the product route settled, close the remaining order facts in the same thread: the exact product title as confirmed, the size where the listing carries more than one, and the quantities. Motorcycle orders are often timed against a season or a trip, which makes the confirmed lead time a planning fact rather than a formality — ask for it, and plan the fitting around the confirmed date. Keep the whole thread with your order: for motorcycle products more than car products, the written confirmation is the reference both sides will return to, because so much of the fitment conversation is specific to one rider's one machine.

Step 6: photograph the cockpit

Close the check with a photograph of the handlebar and instrument area as it stands today. The photograph records the mounting space, the existing equipment and the eyeline in one image, and it gives the reply something concrete to confirm against. Riders consistently underestimate how much of the fitment conversation a single clear photograph replaces — it is the motorcycle equivalent of the dashboard photograph recommended for car buyers, and it belongs in every first inquiry.

Six steps in total, and none of them needs a tool more specialised than a phone camera and the motorcycle's own documents.

One machine, one record

If the order covers more than one motorcycle — a second bike of your own, or several riders fitting screens in the same week — run this check per machine and keep the answers separate. Two motorcycles with the same model code can differ in year, equipment and what is already mounted at the bars, and a confirmation written for one does not transfer to the other. Separate records cost a few minutes each and prevent the most avoidable error in group orders: the right screen confirmed for the wrong motorcycle.
