GPS mounts

Post by **Lance McCaw** » Thu Jan 02, 2014 1:24 am

Anybody got pictures of how they have there GPS mounted on the 1200. I am trying to decide what mount to buy for my garmin nuvi 50.

No picture, though I could get one in a day or two. I bought a motorcycle-specific handlebar mount for my gps model on eBay. About $15 as I recall. I removed the plastic decorative housing that sits over the ignition key/handlebar risers and mounted the gps in the center of the handlebars. Works great, easy to see and out of the way.

I used a Ram mount on mine. Don't have a pic right now, but it works great. I mounted the power outlet in the right fairing pocket.

The RAM mount is the classy but spendy way to go. I went simple (cheap) with a handlebar clamp-on:

I mounted mine to the top on the cruise control using the mount off the bean bag for the car, used screws and double back tape to mount it, works great and is easy to see while riding.

I don't want to spend a lot of cash either. I also like things being centered any time they can be. I also bought a 12 volt female plug to mount somewhere for power. Is that what you others ues or do you cut wire and go to battery

Mine is Mounted above right speaker housing. Mount is a RAM fixed permanently. No vibration and it is under windshield for the surprise showers. Cord is Permanently attached and retracts into dash when not in use. Mount cost about 15.00

My bike had a 12 volt car plug mounted in the left pocket when I got it. It is also where I store the mount when not in use.

I have a "cigarette lighter" style 12V outlet mounted as such:

I bought the same one. Yours is mounted just like what I was thinking.

And don't forget the raincover. If it's a 3x5 Garmin, you can repurpose a Listerine bottle.

I mounted mine on top of the cruise control and drilled a hole to hold the mounting screw. I ran the wires from the GPS unit under the cruise control and directly to the battery for power and have a 5-amp inline fuse in place for circuit protection.

I put my plug in behind the cover on the left side. Cant see it unless its in use. For my GPS mount I bought a RAM mount for $38.00 and I love it.
