RAM Mounts

Seeing as how motorcycle GPS units refuse to budge in price, I was looking for a viable mounting solution for my existing Garmin Nuvi 250 to my Bonneville.

Used the search wizard here and they seem to have just the ticket. Has anyone used this or similar products and to what effect?

I have a couple of ram mounts, one to mount the TomTom to the Speedmaster, the other to fit the Goldwing. It has a weatherproof enclosure and has been in torrential rain, strong winds and at reasonable speed (80-90mph). Works well.

I'm real pleased. I bought a $15 RAM mount, made my own bracket that a buddy powdercoated. I mounted it to my Memphis Shades screen. It's very secure.

Thanks for the input, I'll order myself one then.

If yours came with a auto suction cup mount, you could just mount it on the speedometer. Had mine on for about 6000 miles and no problems - also the GPS speedometer is more accurate than the one one the bike.

D9 one of the vendors here also has a GPS mount that fits over the stem nut. He's also a great individual to do business with.

I got my mount from this guy a few years ago and love it! Since I cant post an ebay link you can search for this auction # 200452887840.

Heres a pic of how mine looked with the old GPS:

I like that mount, but what I would like better is a solid unit machined out of a single billet of steel or aluminum, mounting over the stem nut like a socket and secured with a magnet inside and a set screw or two. A stem coming up just clearing the bars and a ball like the one you have. Clean, efficient, and center-mounted.

Hey, those are pretty cool. I was thinking about a mount that isn't dependant on my windshield. That might just fit the bill.

Oh shit, I missed that post. That's exactly what I want and it's been right here all along. Comin' at you, D9!

It looks like D9 will have a couple of orders. I'm looking at one also to mount either a GPS, camera or A/F data logger for tuning the bike.

Any reason why the D9 mount wouldn't work on an America's topnut/riser/bar setup? I have slightly taller bars (HD Heritage) on my bike, which I assume would only help.
