BMW Nav VI cradle for other bike?

New BMW owner here. I didn't see another thread on this topic, so here I am. Just bought a 1000XR and also purchased the Nav VI. I've been running a Zumo 390 for years so the charging cradles on my other bikes are all fit for that. The 390 is pretty long in the tooth, so rather then update to a Zumo 595 it would be great to just swap the Nav VI between bikes. And there's the rub. As near as I can tell, the current cradles for the Zumo 595 aren't compatible. And the 660/665 cradle (which was) isn't available any longer. Id sure like to stick the new GPS on the FJR.
Any thoughts are much appreciated.

There are several 660/665 cradles on Ebay.
 
Didn't think of Ebay. Thanks for the info.
Does Garmin or BMW sell just the cradle specifically for the Nav VI?
 
Is the Nav VI cradle the same as the Nav V cradle? My bike came with a Nav V cradle. When I later bought a NAV V, it came with a cradle which I am not using.
 
Thanks for the input guys. I went the ebay route. I never realized the Navigator line was so customized to the BMW bikes. Loads of data available through the interface. I know Ill only have basic navigation when its mounted on the FJR, but the bigger brighter screen is a fine addition in its own right!
New toys....
