Question GPS Mounts

Just wondering if anyone has used this mount for their GPS. It is the model that mounts in the brake reservoir clamp bolt holes. I want to install it on a 2008 Street Glide.

RAM Mount Garmin Quest 2 Bolt Motorcycle Mount RAM-B-174-GA15U


I have a couple of photo albums posted on my site, Oyster Run, 2009 & Pig & Fin 2009

I know a few on here use that mount, and it will work. I use the mount that goes where the mirrors mount.

Are you using a RAM or Tech mount? Do you have a part number?

Got one from Mount guys.com as suggested on this forum. Mounts to handlebar, works pretty good. Cheap and reliable. Didn't care for the large neck type.

Thanks for the part number and the pic cap, that's pretty slick. I think I'm going that route on my Street Glide. Did you have to make any spacers or anything, or does it come with the right length bolt and everything?

you are describing, I have it over on the clutch
side and have attached two pics as to how it
looks with/without the GPS on it.
