I'm looking to add a new GPS to my "03 Ultra. I currently have the old Garmin Quest 2 mounted on the handlebar. I'm looking at the Tom Tom Rider 2, and here's the deal. My bride bought me a drink holder that mounts on the left side handlebar and that is where the current GPS is located. Plus, my eyes ain't what they used to be and that mounting location is really a little close to see the GPS screen well, so I'd like to mount the Tom Tom on the fairing. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks

Try looking at ram-mount.com
Maybe they have something.

You could get one of the dual ball mounts from Ram Mount, and use two different sized arm extensions so they are not blocking each other.

I used the double ball ram mount with 2" bar. Made a braket to mount to the fairing. I don't have to take my eyes off the road to see the gps. The gps in the pic is a Garmin Street Pilot 2610 and have sence changed to a 2720. The Street Pilots are motorcycle compatable and water proof. I got the 2720 from megagps.com for 128 bux. Its refurbished, but looks and operates brand new with a yr's warrenty. It comes with all software,except the 12 volt power cord to hard wire it hot wire. The power cord has a pig tail to plug in ear phones.
