Default Another gps mount option

After reading all the diffrent ways you guys have mounted your gps I decided to do it like this. I took the garmin suction mount that came with the unit. cut half the base and rubber suction attached. Drilled three holes for the two chrome bolts and one for the connection. Tapped into the ciggarette lighter for a aux power receptacle I had laying around. Plugged the garmin in, secured it and put the fairing back on. Looking to buy a new 765 to attach.

Default Tech Mount

I bought a Tech Mount that attaches to my 1 1/4 Chubbies, and put on the left handlebar. Use a Ram Quick Disc. that slides on, made an adapter for cell beside GPS. I like it and it is very visable and easy to remove when walking away from the bike and locking in TP.

Looks like a clean install. I like it!
