What is the best GPS mount for the F3 & a Zumo XT2

[Spyder1979]

What is the best gps mount for the F3? I have a Zumo XT2.
Something that mounts on the handle bar bolts maybe?

I have the bar clamp mount from LaMonster Garage and it works great for me.

The year of your Spyder F3 would help with a specific recommendation.

(See page #1, & then page #7 for detail on how to do it on this platform)

LaMonster is always a good place to start, and I also like Spyderextras.com.

And do you just want a ball mount, or do you also want power to be provided for the GPS?

I bought the ball mount for the handle bar clamp from lamonster. It puts my Carpuride dead center.

I use the Rearace from Amazon on my 2017 F3S. It mounts on the lower 2 bolts and holds my Carpuride dead-center on the bars.

I have the Lamonster garage top clamp version. It works great, very strong and steady.

I love Lamonster's Ram Ball Mount and did a video on my YT channel to show how well this works for me. Not sure if I can post that video link here though.

I have the Lamonster garage top clamp version. It works great, very strong and steady.

My problem with the top clamp mount on the 24 and up is that it causes the GPS to block the instrument cluster screen. I went with a top cap on the left handle bar for a ram ball there.

My plastic ball plate on my Lamonster bounced around quite a bit with my Zumo XT2. This plate will work much better, as it is aluminum/steel thread ball and not plastic.

Nope, I have the top clamp, not a ball.

Humm, it doesn’t block anything on mine mounted there... but I have the top clamp not the ball type, and I also have the 2” bar riser.
