Any pictures and instruction would be appreciated.

Would be nice to have the model and year model of your RT. Assuming that it is not a LTD model, did you get the mounting kit for the RT? Do you have the radio system?

GPS mount
I have a 2014 RTS with an after market Garmin 660. I took out my gauges and replaced them with a volt meter and GPS. Purchased RAM mount and made dick to hold the mount, self made. Ran power from wires of the gauge, this way the GPS is only on when the Spyder is on. Ran wires from GPS along gas tank and pluged into CB harness, so I can hear it in my helmet. So far works pretty good.

Velcro
I put some commercial Velcro in upper right hand corner under dash. The GPS unit covers the tempature gauge but do not care.
Then I also have a strip on each side on the front of the GPS and run a thin strip back to hold it tight against Velcro on the back. Works great quick on and off.

I have had two ltd models. I added a second Garmin cradle on the dash/cowl top. I left the OEM one on the starring center and when I removed the Tupperware, I could see where to attach the wiring. Leave OEM alone and tap in where necessary (two power cables). photo 2.jpgphoto 1.jpgIMG_9692.JPG

This is what I used, I mounted it on the handlebar, I like it because I don't have to take my eyes very far off the road to look at it.

My mounts are cheap, maybe not so pretty, but oh so functional. Basically used hose clamp, piece of inner tuber under the hose clamp to keep them slipping with RAM Mount RAM-B-252U under the hose clamps. Add the RAM Arms at the length you want and you are good to go. Works like a charm and suggested by another forum member awhile back. These were going to be temporary, but heck it worked so well they just stayedram mount.jpg

I also have the same bar and ball.
How did you route the wire and where did you get the power from?

Power came up from the frunk. Routed it up through the windshield mount. Now, with that said, i didnt do it myself. Cost me an hours labour even though it only took between a 1/2 and 3/4 hour to do it. I didnt mind that cost. I had already done all the mounting of the unit, they only did the wiring. I just do not want to do anything myself with the wiring.
