GPS Mounting
I had a Zumo 660 mounted to my handlebars on my previous touring bike, and never any problems with that mount. It is now mounted to my Dyna handlebars and although that bike shakes like crazy at idle, it still works great on that bike also.
Why not mount it to the bars ?
BTW Try a Glare Stomper to cut down on the GPS screen glare...Money well spent.

I have two HD touring bikes and use the handlebar mount on both. Had one on last bike as well. Matter of fact, when I eventually end up with a newer bike with infotainment pretty sure I will keep using regarding what I have with all that I have read about infotainment/GPS.

I made a quicky GPS mount for a buddy's '13 SG. Its nothing more than a 1" wide SS piece that uses the center W/S hole, with a bend to run right above fairing and under storage pouch, then a bend up with a ball I turned to mount his Garmin. Its somewhat visible in 1st pic. No vibration at all, and its right dead center easy to see.

I have a RAM mount low on the bars. This prevents the whip from the end of the bars. Then I use an appropriate length arm to bring it (GPS) up behind fairing. No vibration or whip to worry about.
