I've got a NUVI 760 and I have a mount from Ramm that uses the mirror shaft bolt for a mount. Nothing on the bars. Seeings as how I rarely use it, I didn't want something gaudy on my bars.

Handle bar works for me, and I use Ram Mount, GPSCity.com is where I got mine after looking around at the prices. Personally, I like this one and use this one http://www.gpscity.com/item-ram-moun.../ramb309-2.htm
this way you can use more then one mount, just look up the GPS you have and I am sure they have one to fit you.

As suggested above, a screen that's mounted center and near eye-level.
This mounting position doesn't require the driver to move his head...just a slight glance downward. Much safer as it allows a good portion of the road to remain in view.

Thanks again for all the replies.
After church today the wife and I rode up to the local dealer. They were pretty slow and had lots of time to demonstrate the unit and let me play with it. Actually the sales manager has one on his SE Ultra and I sat on his bike and tried it out. I was very impressed at the ease of use, I like how it talks to you through the stock stereo system, I like having all the Harley dealers already loaded in and I especially like having the SD sim card slot for music.
So long story short we purchased the HD unit. I got 10% off and a free handle bar mount kit which actually came with the unit.
