This was a great addition. If you use a camera there, the silver reflects off of the windshield. It is easily painted black and looks really nice. Minimal reflection.

I put my GPS above the dashboard . I bought the flat dash bar w/several holes for attaching other attachments from JT( he is a vendor on this site) I got the black stain steel. Here is a picture: flat dash bar mount, & B-Ball on long arm back of GPS mount, long arm attached to B-ball, back of GPS holder with B-Ball.

After listening to all the advice and suggestions here, I decided to route the power cable through the back of the windshield, down through the slot at the bottom, between the headlight modules and then into the frunk where it can be attached via battery tender connector to the battery. This leaves it with power on always, but I don't intend to leave the gps sitting out there on the bike unattended anyway. This solution involved removing several pieces of tupperware to expose the space between the headlights, but that's it. I didn't have to cut any wires, tap into any circuits or drill any holes except for the small slot where the cable enters the frunk.

Harry, I ordered it off of Amazon, do a search for Garmin Zumo sun hood. Or, go to www.rbnshoods.com

Had a chance to try out the new gps mount this weekend. Really like the new position on the dashboard near eye level. But, being on a 9-inch RAM arm it vibrates way too much on anything but the smoothest road :shocked:. So, I'm going to try to resolve that issue by positioning weatherstripping foam between the top of the dash and the bottom of the gps and see if that helps.
Hey Pete, nice work. The vibration of the long arm is why I mounted mine the way I did with the short arm. I still have a little vibration but not enough to be a problem. Keep up the good work. Here is my end result.

this is a great idea, I'm going to do same. I just took apart gps bracket at handle bar, thinking it had a plug-in to back of garmin holder. but it doesn't. I have not yet took off any Tupperware. so if you follow wire down to somewhere, does that end have a plastic connector to unplug? just wondering which side might be easier to take apart, if its the garmin holder, I would have to take off back then take wires apart in that internal area
just got gps cable out. WHEW what a time. my first time inside spyder. windshield, assorted Tupperware, 1 light, instrument cluster. its an amazing machine inside! now I can re-route cable up on top dash, and install tricled phone holder / usb cig lighter on handlebar where gps was at
I used a 4" piece of weather-stripping foam attached to the bottom of the 660LM and the shorter arm. Worked perfect on our last trip to the Black hills and Cody Wy.
