Member Contributer mk2davis Posted June 23, 2012 Member Contributer Share Posted June 23, 2012 It didn't work for me, but it does stick to the triple clamp. With significant warming it becomes less stuck, so I need to restick it. Its worked well for about 1500 miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veefer800Canuck Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Find a cheap eBay windscreen and drill it to accept a mount. Swap the windscreen on and off for touring. Tony (Didit) has that on his VTEC and it's great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee 2002 Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Tony (Didit) has that on his VTEC and it's great. I blatantly copied Didit's idea and love it. The suction cup would never stick, tank bolt and triple clamp mounts were too low for my tastes. The windscreen mount blocks my tachometer, but I don't care. If I really need to see the tach a quick lean to the left or right reveals it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VFRocker Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 I think a stem mount would be your best bet but my ancient garmin is only 3.5 inches and doesn't create a problem, no tank bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Zip-tie the mount to the clutch Res. That is how I do My C-14 when I travel. Then when you go in you just pop the GPS off and put it in your bag. Mount stays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer CharlesW Posted June 24, 2012 Member Contributer Share Posted June 24, 2012 It might cost a little more, but the Ram Mount on the tank bolts sure does work good. Easy to use and no worries about the unit staying in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V4 Rosso Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 It might cost a little more, but the Ram Mount on the tank bolts sure does work good. His 3rd gen doesn't have the tank bolts up front. RAM has a fork stem mount but it is a bit wobbly, This is a more solid stem mount. Also this one uses an allen bolt which is much better then the philips head screw of the RAM stem mount.

Member Contributer V-FORE Posted June 25, 2012 Member Contributer Share Posted June 25, 2012 this is what I did works well, just broke off the suction cup and drilled a couple of holes... good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer mk2davis Posted September 10, 2012 Member Contributer Share Posted September 10, 2012 I hate to drag this one out from the woodwork, but can someone verify the inner diameter of the fork stem? I don't have my bike with me today, but I need to get a gps holder ordered soon. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 I Like the windscreen Idea but that blocks my gauges. What Stem Mount did you use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 A little off topic but, is there a mount for Iphones? I want to use the GPS and Speedo app in place of the factory speedo (went a tooth down in front. it's no where near accurate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
