GPS Mount
I was looking at different GPS mounting options on the Internet. I saw one that was a mount for the inner fairing. If I remember correctly, a person drilled a hole in the fairing and the mount was bolted through the fairing. I have searched for this, as I don't want anything else mounted on my handle bars. I would rather look at the GPS mounted on the fairing. Any idea where I saw this or who makes it.

If you ride a lot two up, as your pic suggests and we do, by mounting your gps off to one side your wife may be able to read it. I only mounted mine on the right bar because that suited other considerations, but we ended up with two pairs of eyes to navigate with! Adds to our riding experience and we can do a bit more together. Just a thought.

Thanks for the info. I gave up a long time ago, in doing searches on here. I plan on mounting it just below the windshild if I can find a place that looks solid enough to hold it and not crack out. Want to put a large flat washer or piece of metal behind the fairing to bolt it throug. Again thanks, and I looked at the RAM website, but didn't see what I wanted, I did find it this time..

Harley made the one in the picture below of my bike. I have the Road Tech 550 (Zumo) mounted on it. I am not sure if Harley still sells this as they now offer the 650 series unit. Check on the factory web site for your bike or ask your dealer.
You can add satelite radio service and put MP3's on the GPS units if you like too.
Hope this helps.

RAM GPS Mount
You haven't said which GPS you plan to use, so I can't give you the P/N for the GPS 'holder'.
The Ball mount is PN: RAM-B-236U ~$9.oo
The Double Socket Ball Socket is PN: RAM-B-210U ~ $15.oo
The GPS 'holder' should run ~ $15.oo also
If you just go to 'SEARCH' and type in "GPS Holders", you will get about 10-12 pages of ideas used by other riders.

I just took my Garmin 660 off the handle bar and got the faring mount from HD. In a hotel room now if you want I can get you the part number when I get back home.
It was 39.95 but after looking at the engineering that went into it I must say it is worth the price. Mounts almost flush on the left top side of fairing with a nice gasket to keep weather proof and the passenger can see it too. Much cleaner look and being being the windshield keeps rain off better to boot!

How hard is it to pull the GPS off, say when going into a motel at night? I'm looking at this for a Pro Vision.
