Well, it was a good thought - inexpensive Nuvi at Costco, a couple of Ram parts and mount it to the hole location on the adjustable handlebars. Wrote Garmin to ask about the power cord and received a mild scolding in return. Yes, I knew it would not be waterproof but as I don't ride that much in the rain, so what. But I was also told in no uncertain terms that the Nuvi could not take the vibrations etc of a motorcycle ride and that if used on a motorcycle, the warranty would be void. Suggested that I get with the Zumo 660. Guess I'll start searching the forum for posts on the 660.
