Ram mount is the way to go. Lots of versatility to swap out for other gadgets.

Check out gps city.com
Ive ordered 2 different gps mounts for the bike and a few other things from them and never had a problem. There prices are good and shipping was fast. They have mounts for just about anything you would want.

I went through three or four stupid mounts and they all worked loose. The only mount to consider is the Ram mount. Mine is exactly like the one pictured earlier and is rock solid.

Zukeeper, you rock. the gps has a speedo so what do i need to see my factory one for....
I am not overly keen on the stock type mounts, They either look like billboards or put the gps where they block something, gage, speaker, etc.

I mounted mine to the left handlebar with the mount it came with. Has worked great for 3+ years.

I have the cyborg version permanently planted in my left eye. It's wired to the synapses in my brain. I can bring up the gps screen by thought. The screen is semi-opaque, so I can still see the road with my left eye when I have it on.
