Which side of handlebars should I mount my gps? I can see pros and cons for either side.

 

Which GPS? The Zumos are MC-friendly and have the buttons on the left-side of the unit, so left mounting is best for these. I would think if you interact at all with the GPS, regardless of where the buttons are located, you'd want to use your left hand. OTOH it could be argued that interacting while riding is a bad idea.

 

Why not mount it in the middle, then it does'nt matter.

 

Mines on the clutch side. Handlebar is cleaner there on my bike. Easier for me to hit buttons with the left hand while riding

 

One side or the other is preferable to the centre if you ride two up, then your passenger can see it, if they feel inclined. My wife keeps an eye on ours, especially if there is a lot of traffic, or an awkward turning coming up. Two pairs of eyes looking out! Mine is on the right because it least obscures other things. I have a TomTom which is touch screen, so it doesn't matter where it is to operate.

 

I like mine on the left so I can still operate the throttle with my right hand.

 

Mine is on the right side. Left side has the much more important cupholder.

 

If you voted for Obama, mount it on the left. Seriously, why would you ask? Mount it wherever the hell you want to mount it. Why would you even ask this question? After a couple of Jumbo Margaritas at the local watering hole, I don't even care.

 

+1

dont want to take your hand off of the throttle to adjust the gps now would ya?

 

I have both the drink holder and GPS and the left side.
