Hey All,
I did search the site but couldn't find anything, forgive me if this is redundant but, who has mounted their Garmin (or other) GPS system on their Spyder (2009 SE5)? I'm trying to decide the best way to get this accomplished. Instructions may not be necessary, but pics would be great.
Thanks
I've mounted my Zumo 450 three different ways on my Spyder. This link shows all three ways. With the NMN risers, you can't beat the 90° RAM ball mount. It's $17 from Aerostich. http://www.aerostich.com/ram-mirror-...unts-flat.html

Just decided it was time to move onto other things.
I found a ram mount at Cabelas that fits over the handlebar cover and doesn't require any cutting or removal of plastic pieces. Sorry, I don't have the number.
I originally mounted my GPS above the console using the KewlMetal console. However, after getting my new stereo and Garmin Zumo 660, I changed and mounted the 660 on the right handlebar
I used a Ram mount to mount mine to the CHAD Windshield mount... Keeps the GPS up in field of view so I really don;'t have to take my eyes off the road.
I removed the safety card and installed a ram mount and cradle.I can keep my eyes on the road and make any calculations on the gps as well as see my gauges.
I have mounted mine with a RAM mount on the right handlebar and in the center of the CHAD windshield, just above the instruments. I prefer the center.

Scotty, that's the way I want to go. Do you have a part number or link for that mount?
Thanks,
Joe

I replaced one of the CHAD wingnuts with a RAM-B-337-U ball with a 1/4-20 threaded hole. I had to grind the CHAD wingbolt down a little shorter so it wouldn't bottom out, and I added another stainless fender washer as a shim. There is a RAM component to allow you to do almost anything you can think of.
