86er Posted March 14, 2008 Share #1 Posted March 14, 2008 OK, Jack! Here are the pics of how I mounted my GPS holder. It took me a while to borrow a camera. (No, I didn't take them 01/01/08! I just changed the batteries!) This is on the left handlebar and I just used two zip ties. http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e138/TMagEnterprises/Extra%20Junk/gps4.jpg I'm running out of room! The leather thing is my bottle/cup holder that I made from an old UPS belt. http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e138/TMagEnterprises/Extra%20Junk/gps1.jpg For power I plugged into a power outlet that I have hanging in the fairing by the radios and ran the cord up through the louvered side piece. http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e138/TMagEnterprises/Extra%20Junk/gps3.jpg The unit just snaps in. I mounted this just before my trip last summer so it has lasted over12k miles. It hasn't even rotated or slipped any. http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e138/TMagEnterprises/Extra%20Junk/gps2.jpg It is also easy to glance at in the twisties to see how much curve you're getting into! I don't like the built in position on the Gold Wing, you have to look too far off the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the 60s were good! http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/36/36_11_1.gifhttp://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/36/36_11_5.gifhttp://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/36/36_11_23.gif But I still don't understand why you can't see the pics.

Condor Posted March 15, 2008 Share #14 Posted March 15, 2008 OK, Jack! Here are the pics of how I mounted my GPS holder. It took me a while to borrow a camera. (No, I didn't take them 01/01/08! I just changed the batteries!) Thanks for the pics Todd. I like the zip tie mount. I'd been thinking about drilling and tapping a couple of holes in the riser, but I think I like the tie idea better.
