Dragracer Posted April 29, 2009 Share #1 Posted April 29, 2009 OK, I'm cheap, and had too much time on my hands! Here's my $2.00 GPS mount for my 2nd gen: http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j204/DragracerUSA/GPS%20Mount/IMG_7849.jpg I started with this cup: http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j204/DragracerUSA/GPS%20Mount/IMG_7846.jpg I centered the gas cap in the cup facing downward, and cut off the top 3.5" of the cup. I then mounted the flat stick on disk that came with the GPS to the bottom of the cup.. I screwed it to the cup just to be safe. I used a heat gun to mold the cup to fit the gas cap snugly. http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j204/DragracerUSA/GPS%20Mount/IMG_7851.jpg http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j204/DragracerUSA/GPS%20Mount/IMG_7852.jpg Here is is pushed onto the gas cap without the GPS mount stuck on. This is held to the gas cap by friction only. I just rode it over 2.5 miles of lime rock, and it never moved. http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j204/DragracerUSA/GPS%20Mount/IMG_7850.jpg The cup came from Wal-Mart in a pack of 4 for $2.00. So technically, it really only cost .50 cents! To remove it, twist slightly and it pulls right off! http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j204/DragracerUSA/GPS%20Mount/IMG_7853.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cecdoo Posted April 29, 2009 Share #2 Posted April 29, 2009 Great idea, looks like its supposed to be there, I think I would hook a static line to the gps, just incase it bounced off, hate to see that baby bouncing down the road at 60mph.

shooter3001 Posted May 30, 2009 Share #6 Posted May 30, 2009 How well is your GPS mount holding up after using it for awhile? I'm thinking of making one also. I looks like it will work quite well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read this, it's for the Buddy Rich cable, but is show's you what you are asking for. If you are planning on using the blue tooth this cable should work for you too I would think. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=15370 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
