I use the RAM mount that bolts to the clutch screws:



Came with my Zumo 660.

Cool, I didn't know you could attach them like that. I have the ram mount U Bolt setup.

I have one of those too, used it to create an out of the way place to mount the GPS mount when GPS not mounted:

if RAM doesn't make it, nobody will.

nice stuff, but you get what you pay for..and you will pay!

I have the HD mount for my 600 on the 13 ultra, with the radio interface.... but that is close to 300 bucks on top of a 600 dollar GPS.... so I will probably do a mirror mount RAM for the 03 since I have the fairing mounted mirrors.

Just got the RAM as well. Pretty good little system. Not the pretties but it's affordable and very functional.

I bought the same GPS unit and I'm also looking for a simple mount. Came across this on Amazon, has anyone tried this?

Plus what are you going to do for your power source? Cigarette lighter?
Also, how secure are the round ball mount types? I mean, is it possible that a good bump or vibration can send the GPS down the road?

I use a RAM mount and a USB/SAE adapter for power.
