Will this GPS mount fit?

Moto126 · October 16th, 2011, 02:30 AM

I was wondering if this mount will fit on the handlebar.

Or I was wondering if i can just velcro a regular gps mount above the gauges, will that be stable enough? I'm scared that it might fall off while riding.

I wouldn't rely on velcro. No information on whether that particular mount will fit. I've always used RAM mounts, and there are a number of options to get them to fit. The two most common are screwing a ball mount into the unused mirror holes on the handlebar, or a simple u-bolt mount around the handlebar in between the grip and where it attaches to the triple-tree.

I agree with Alex. Don't cheap out on the mount for an expensive GPS.

I use a RAM mount for my Garmin GPSMap 60CSx. When fully tightened I can actually move my handle bars using the GPS mount. It's that sturdy.

It doesn't look like it will fit to me. There isn't much extra room on the bars so anything that attaches needs a reaching arm to hold the device farther away with a relatively small footprint on the bar.

Thank you for the suggestions. After looking through other threads and websites I found these. Going to connect it to the side mirror.

Which mirror mount are you trying to connect it to, the actual side mirror on the fairing? If so - be aware that some of the folks that have tried similar mountings have quite alot of vibration on the GPS. I'd strongly recommend something that mounts to a more solid metal mounting point.

Yea I was thinking to the fairing so I can put it right above the gauge. Since I have already ordered it I will try it out and if it vibrates too much i'll mount it somewhere else.

Get a ram mount. They are not that expensive and are high quality. I have one on my fazer that screws into the bolt holes for the bars, Works like a champ.
