Did you replace the bolts on the tank for longer ones and use washers as spacers to reduce the compression on the rubber?

What about Tank Filler cap mounted?
I know they make brackets for Video cameras - Do they make mounts for GPS??

Tank filler set up...too far down to see , despite extended arm but , like me , will mount anything.
I'll post me set ups on bikes tomorrow.
That version between headstock and tank makes me feel a bit queasy :eek

Your prob right - it would be a tricky setup!

Have to do a wheelie everytime you need to look at the GPS :D

Would only be good if you get a bluetooth setup :thumbup

Can anyone tell me with a Garmin 660 or other, if they are plumbed in to the bike for good (electrically/wiring wise) or is the whole mount always removable/unpluggable?

cheers

The cradle that holds the Garmin GPS unit is wired permanently to the bike,and the cradle is supposed to stay on the bike.

You can cut the wires, and put a waterproof plug and socket in to make the whole thing removable if you want to. (It's only two wires).

Or there is the option of mounting the whole lot on a tankbag so that it's removable.

Che, I think I'm gonna have to try to fit it like you have! :thumbup

Whats the RAM part (ball joint) that you have there to fit to the tank mounting point?
Did you need longer bolts?

thanks
James
