I have a Garmin Zumo 660 which came with the motorcycle mount. I ran the wires under the gas tank and hooked in to the battery. You will love the ram mount. I have the one that goes under the mirror. It put the gps out of the way of the gauges and did not crowd the left side of the handlebars.

That way not too noticable when not in use.

Haven't used it yet though, put it together this winter.
