RE: Garmin Quest 2 Mounting Kit?
OK, that pretty well clears up the power situation. Let's just say I DO want to use the audio/power connections on occassion. What, in your opinion, would be the handlebar mount to buy?? I appreciate your help!!

Avoid the HD cradle and hotshoe mount regardless of what model GPS unit you buy. They are garbage! The small piece on the bottom of the cradle that locks the unit in place breaks easily, is not replaceable without purchasing a new cradle, and may have you watching your GPS bouncing down the freeway. You may not like the looks of the Ram mount, but it looks better than a broken GPS.

You can use this and wire in your own connector and run a patch cord to the aux input of your radio or helmet as needed.

I was having the HD Quest Faring mount installed on my Electra Glide Classic this weekend--at least that was the plan. Can someone tell me the big issue with drilling a hole in the faring to mount this?

RE: Garmin Quest 2 Mounting Kit?
I have the Quest 2 and used the HD handlebar kit and the Garmin cradle as it was cheaper and the only differance is that the HD cradle lets you mount the audio plug to the bracket. I like the location the HD mount puts the unit in after riding with it for awhile now, right near the left side mirror. The HD kit also came with everything to do a very neat install, no splices or crappy connections, you actual run the power to the fuse block and it is fused right in there like a OEM acccessory. You pick up the ground at the stock point with aal the rest and the unit is now key controled. I wire tied the audio plug under the unit for the rare occasion (which hasn;t happened yet) I would use the ear piece.
I took the bike to an area with a brick street and road back and forth a few times and the unit stays put and the bracket stays tight.
