Nuvi 200 Mounted on Streetglide w/pics
quick and ez install using just velcro.
i tried it with the mount it came with, the suction cup held just fine for the hour i used it, but it vibrated like a mother fuc**r under 2200 rpm's.
pardon my bike its filthy [sm=smiley16.gif]
1. you cant see it thru the windshield
2. doesnt take up much space
3. doesnt stick out much at all, should be pretty much protected from the elements.
4. just used some strong velcro that came with my ez-pass to hold it on.
and
and it doesntblock much of your field of vision.
all in all its a 2 minute install. also the nuvi 200 is on sale for 169.99 at best buy and circuit city at the moment. the zumos and tomtom rider granted are betterunits but this is a cheaper alternative if you wont be using it much and just want peice of mind.

Looks nice and I agree on the less expensive unit over the Zumos. I like the mount there better than the handlebars!!! This way you don't have to look very far down away from the road to see it.

Looks like a good idea to me.
So you just plug it into the 12v cigarette outlet?
It doesn't hit the tank when you tuirn to the left and park it?
Of course if it falls off at speed it could be trouble.

Made a run of 125 miles one way this past weekend with the 200 mounted on the windshield using the suction cup. Held great with no problems either way. Much cheaper that the Zumo's but not as many bells and whistles. 03 Road Glide

fastbagger the velcro came with my ez-pass.stuck the ez-pass in my pocket instead, it never reads anyway, i have to wave it around in the tollbooths.
texas fatboy it is plugged into the cigarette lighter and yes it will just hit the tank when you lock the fork so you have to unplug it.
so far i rode about 200 miles with it and no problems yet, but it is distracting as hell, i cant stop looking at it.
