GPS cable through windshield support opening...
I took a look at my RT and agree the best place to have a GPS is up on the dash. Has anyone mounted their GPS up on the dash (I'm thinking of JT's dash mount) and routed the GPS cable to a power source through the hole where the windshield support arms are? I would use flex ties to secure the GPS cable to the support arms to keep them from getting pinched. What do you think?

Not GPS, but other powered items....
I put the power cables in flex, weather tight tubing and routed it through the center hole where the actuating arm is, making sure it did not impede the movement. Works great.

I have several cables running down into the windshield lift arm openings so it works fine as a entrance location.

Ran mine down that way, I'd show ya but I sold the bike recently. Works perfectly though......
Sold my 14 RTS went back to 2 wheels.

Wow, thanks for all the responses. I'm going to eyeball what all I have to do this weekend but the JT route with the cable going through the windshield support looks like a good option. Now all I have to do is get the top of the dash apart as nothing can be as simple as removing the two screws on top.

You are correct. the windshield has to come off as well as the plastic around the headlights which means you first have to remove the mirrors, wind deflectors and the two top side pieces of plastic.
