Moving the GPS

[SpyderConvert]

I was increasingly growing frustrated with the GPS mount on the handlebars on my '15 RTL. It required taking my eyes off the road and when wearing my hi-viz yellow jacket, was difficult to see! Using JT's dash mount, I moved the GPS up to the top of the dash which made seeing it a LOT better, but I still had the reflection from my jacket to contend with. Also, the GPS seemed to bounce around some with every irregularity in the road surface. I tried moving the unit as close to the dash as possible, but the vibration continued. Finally, i decided to try some Velcro, it pretty much eliminated the vibration! I'm posting pictures...

Great idea.
This may be a solution for moving the GPS on my ST.

So please, let me get this clear (the pics aren't quite enough to clarify pps: ) is that velcro just under the front/bottom edge of the GPS Bracket, while the main weight of the 'GPS bracket' is still being supported on JT's dash mount?? :dontknow:

You can reduce that significantly by putting an anti-glare screen protector on the Garmin display. I did that for the cluster display. Helps a lot.

Not my current set up but that's what I did when I tried out a non-working 660 on my '18. I used one of JTs mounts and added a single piece of velcro under just the front/leading edge. Kept things VERY secure. Zero vibrations.

HAGO!

You are correct, the velcro is under the GPS bracket. I believe that at least some of the weight is borne by the velcro attachment to the dash. The second picture shows the attachment point.
