Universal Suction Cup PDA mount...
Anyone try something similar and mount to your windshield or fairing? I'm just wandering if the suction cup would hold on through all the vibration. I'm basically looking for a cheap, no-mod way to slap my blackberry with GPS on the bike for trips.... I guess I could always just get one and try it, after all, it's a work phone...Heh heh heh
 But, then again, I may catch a lot of flak if it gets road rash....

Anyone? Does anyone even look at these section of the forum? I guess our pre-gens just aren't cool enough........

Websniper,
I haven't seen it done on the ninja's but when I used to hang in the Katana forum, a few people mounted their gps unit via suction cup over the tachometer usually. One guy did quite a few hundred miles like that with no problem. He also didn't worry about rain since it was under the windscreen. I have a portable gps unit with a suction cup on the back that I use every now and again. I got it for cheap cheap, so I plan on giving it a try on the ninjette. If it works well, I'll have a power source hooked up for it.

The RAM mounts are so cheap and so much more reliable than any suction cup mount, that I'd really consider those first.

Yeah, I see there's a couple of solutions in the nextgen farkle section... For as often as I'd use it, a $9.95 ebay mount is just so appealing...

I bought this kit for my car and it has been very nice!
 Check out Arkon's line of mounts here: http://www.arkon.com/. They are pretty inexpensive, too. |

 I love my ram mount. It works great, and I dont worry at all about my GPS falling off. Not to mention its designed to take a lot of the serious vibrations that motorcycles can put out.My only gripe is that the u-bolt doesnt fit on my handlebars perfectly flush because of a lack of about ... 2cm of clearance. Its still perfectly secure and doesn't wiggle around -at all-, but the way it looks is a little irritating to me. But I found a solution that i'll be buying once I get everything else I need motorcycle related. http://www.motorcyclelarry.com/index...products_id=30 Should fit right in the extra mirror thread near the clutch. And as it seems to be the correct size in mm, no re-tapping should be required.
