GPS MOUNTS
I am looking for a central mount for my GPS unfortunately I purchased a NAVMAN MY85XLT that is 5 3/4 inches wide and 3 1/2 inches high and all the mounts I have found so far are for 3 to 5 inch units I would prefer water proof and lockable would be good, but I will compromise. Dose anyone know if a large mount holder is made for motorcycles and if so a link to same

Re: GPS MOUNTS
Have you tried ram-mount.com? If they have a cradle, then everything else is common. But they're not lockable, etc., as far as I know.

Re: GPS MOUNTS
+1 on the Ram Mount. They carry Aqua Box gps holders that are waterproof and shockproof.
Check amazon, too.

Re: GPS MOUNTS
Beat me to it. All the Aqua Boxes are here, you can also get 'em at Amazon. You'll need the medium/wide one. I've used these in the past and found them to be a bit cumbersome, but it also depends on where you mount it. If I was going to use something like this I might look at an RKA tank IN-Charge tank bag, rather than mounting on the bars or whatever. Other tank bags from Givi and Bags-Connection also have GPS mounting capabilities.DMM wrote:+1 on the Ram Mount. They carry Aqua Box gps holders that are waterproof and shockproof.

Re: GPS MOUNTS
I have been looking for something like this as well. I have been using this "holster" portion of this iphone car mount jimmy rigged with adjustable zip ties. I did come across this Arkon mount and am interested
Re: GPS MOUNTS
Chipper I have ordered a similar mount it has not arrived yet but my thought were that even if it is crap it is a similar size to the Aqua Box and Ram mount so I can see if it fits the bike and is in a position I like be for spending to much
Re: GPS MOUNTS
I have a ram mount attached to one of their simple ball mounts:

I used this to replace one of the handle bar clamp bolts. I did make an aluminum sleeve for the shaft on the ball as the shaft is somewhat thinner than the hole in the handlebar clamp and I didn't want a sloppy fit. I think I also replaced Ram's allen head bolt with a Torx bolt sourced from my BMW dealer.
