+1 for RAM, I just leave the handlebar mount attached and when I want the GPS there its ready to go. Doesn't look bad either way and definitely less expensive than other methods.
The only way I have seen to mount it to the fairing is putting a mount where the windshield bag goes..

I have the Road King Classic with the short windshield. I ordered a mount and cradle from GPS city.com. I just removed and changed one of the windshield screws to a longer one, and mounted it to the windshield. So nothing is on my bars.

Mounting
I just bought a refurb 2720 (haven't got it yet) and am looking at mounts. Using the RAM mounts assuming you use the powered cradle does the mount bolt to the bottom of the cradle or the back of it?

I have the Road King Classic and I wanted a rig that I could easily put on and off since I often ride without the windshield and like the clean look of the bike.
The key was the Powerlet Plus handlebar socket, PKT 690 54C, $130. this way the power is always on the handlebar and I can remove the arm and cradle of the GPS.
I got the short power cable for my unit from them as well.
I also got the screw in 1" black ball from Powerlet to screw into the Powerlet because they usually have it and I can't find that part on the RAM site.

From RAM I got;
short chrome arm, RAM B 201ACHU, $42
I don't know the NUVI 765T. The 550 is a horizontal unit so I use the short arm, if the NUVI is more vertical you may need the long arm.
I also got a chrome 1" ball base for the back of the Garmin cradle, RAM B 238 CHU, $27. But you could use the black one that comes with the Garmin unit. I'm just addicted to chrome. The Garmin will also come with black arms you could use instead of chrome.
I also got a locking **** for the arm, RAM **** 3L, $23 so I won't worry about leaving the cradle on the bike when I stop to go into a diner. I pull the GPS and take it with me.
There's also a guy in Europe who makes a great replacement security screw for the Zumo. I don't know if it will work with the NUVI, you may have to wait until you have the unit or ask Marco who makes the screw.
