GPS on RKC
I have a 6" Garmin GPS and trying to put it on my RKC with handlebar mount. I am finding that the GPS is a bit too large. I am wondering how other people have mounted their unit. Getting a smaller unit is not an option. Would like to keep the 6" so I can see it easier. Thanks.

I think an HDF member posted something like this a while back, if this is what you're looking for. If I recall, the company is TechMount. I'm in the market for a bike and the King is one of my choices. This looks pretty good, and you can use your Garmin cradle.

I mean the GPS unit itself is big. With the winshield on I'm having a hard time getting the unit located so it is an easy view and out of the way of controls. I have the Garmin cradle and Ram 2"(?) between the bars and cradle. I did see a smaller mount that looks like it should work that another person posted.Thanks for your suggestions.

Look on RAM Mount's own website and you should find a wide range of alternative mounting parts that we don't normally see on dealers' websites. Look for 'Components' for RAM-B, if you use a 1" ball. I recently bought myself a longer arm for one of my bikes direct from their UK website, to give me a better installation for one of my bikes (I have three that I use the same gps unit on, with different mounts to suit each).
