Well I emailed the guys at Techmount on the off chance
that they could modify a stem mount to work with the threads on a harley stem.
Unfortunately it doesn't look like that is going to work, so it's back to my search.
Anyone on the forum figured out a clean looking way to mount a gps tight to the bike?

RE: GPS on a Dyna
Yea Mud I designed the bracket , sent drawings to RudeDog and he fab'ed the riser for me. I then krinkle coated the bracket, tapped dead center for the Ram mount.. The Gps and Sirus plate was made from some old Computer harddrive mounting cages I had layin around. Then krinkle coated , and mounted the electronic's .. All in all it came out pretty good. I quess I should have listed in your 'Under 50 $' thread.. I've got the original cad drawing of the bracket somewhere, just cant find it now..
Heres a shot before I tapped for Ram Mount.

Nice Ronn. Nice clean execution.
Haven't heard from Dog for quite awhile.
Hope he's doin OK.
Better send him a PM, and wake him out of hibernation.
Put this one in the under 50 thread, if you don't mind.
This is a real good one.

RE: GPS on a Dyna
Alright, I need a little more hlep with this one.
I talked to the guys from Techmount and they don't have any stem mount brackets that are desinged for a Harley. They were nice enough to tell me that all of their mounts are connected to the pivot base using a 10-32 bolt. I've confirmed what the guys at the dealership said andthe stem cover on a Dyna are a 5/16 thread.
So, I'm looking for a helicoil for a 10-32 bolt with an outside diameter of 5/16. I haven't had a chance to swing by NAPA and see if they sell such a thing, so does anyone know where I can locate one.

Helicoils do not use standard threads on the OD.
There are threaded inserts, but I doubt in the thread combination you are looking for. The diameters are to close together.

RE: GPS on a Dyna
Mr. E - thanks for the tip, I'd been searching the McMaster-Carr site for 'helicoils' and hadn't thought to look for 'threaded inserts'. It appears that they make a threaded insert with the sizes I need, and it's offered in stainless steel.
Now I'm off to the garage with a tape measure to try and figure out which Techmount will be the right height.

RE: GPS on a Dyna
I should have posted this earlier.
Firefighters' mount/tank lift combo went out last week but the bad news is I forgot to take a picture to post up. He said he would come through once he gets it mounted. Or I could just whip up another? Any takers?
