Bought a Garmin SP330 for my travels. Used it in my truck when I went to DC and loved it. Couldn't find a spot to mount it on my RK, tried the windshield, it mounted fine but seemed to vibrate alot and made me nervous. I then mounted it on top of the speedometer which, on my RK, sits on top of the tank. It may look a little weird going down the road but it is ez to read and rock solid, no vibration. Does anyone use the handlebar mount on their bike? Is it stable? I may look like a dork, but I know where I am going!!

 

i have a garmin 2610 mounted on the handlebar. no vibration with the mount. got it from cyclegadgets.com

 

That's actually made by RAM mounts - they're good units! They have a number of distributors...

The ball mount for the handlebar itself you kin git from Cabela's (or most any other sporting goods store...)

I'm kinda curious. what do you think will happen to that satelite radio, the first time it is out it gets wet?

 

probably with the rain cover on- Nothing, other than the cover gets wet!

 

Fair enough. What does the cover look like?

 

I just bought a new Garmin Zumo 550 GPS and since I have a J & M radio mounted on the clutch bracket I used the handle bar mount for the Zumo and it is rock solid, sitting just inboard from the J & M.

gotta clear front so you can see through it, and wraps around the entire radio. has a draw string at the bottom to keep it on.

 

What about heat?
The reason I'm asking is because the guys that I was buying from said the unit coudn't be covered or it would get too hot.

 

ain't had a bit of problem so far, and have been caught in some pretty good downpours. quite a few folks use them and haven't heard of any radios burning up.
