Where to mount GPS?
 

Dear all,

I've managed to convince my business partner that my bike is the perfect tool for shooting around the country to see customers.

Picked up the Tom Tom Rider yesterday but where the hell can you mount it? Those clever Bologna designers have taken up all the space with things like handle bars and steering damper etc.

Anyone had success with mounting such items?

And while we're on the subject, anyone had experience of carrying a bag of spirit levels - 4ft longest.

Please help as I'm desperate to be able to use the bike to play - I mean work - on as often as possible.

Regards

Mark O'Connor.

P.S. There'll be a discount on a Frameless glass shower enclosure for any help!

I have a snooper S4 fitted on the underside of my double bubble screen but I do not knoew if your unit is larger than the snooper one.

I would be tempted to make a bag to suit like a "quiver" you know for arrows, that would go over your shoulder. I used to carry a one piece snooker cue on the bike and did it in a similar way with a strap on the case.

Gonna be a bugger to see the screen on the Sat Nav when it's in a quiver on your back :o

I knew there would be a "crack" did not know where from tho'

cant you use your TomTom in blue tooth mode with an earpiece in the ear to listen to the instructions.Much safer too.

i must agree that a quiver would be the best mounting position???

Fitted a garmin street pilot to my 748 using RAM mounts.

Simply used the RAM mounts on steering damper mounting bolt hole

It is rock solid up to 70mph officer:roll:

Email me if you want pictures and i will sort them at the weekend

On the street pilot you do not have (or want) the sound

It simply counts down the distance to the junction

If you want a young lady wittering in your ear you might aswell stay at home:lol:

I have strapped skiis on a Yamaha DT200 to go spring mountaineering. Tail end strapped to the footrests, tip ends tied up behind me at an angle approaching my thigh when riding. I imagine 4 foot spririt levels could be housed in a quiver attached in a similar fashion out of the way on either side of the bike, with maybe a foam rubber cushion on the bike side. For the skiis, the only clearance problem was height vs truck mirrors when splitting traffic, but otherwise everything was behind my body and relatively safe and stable at all speeds.
Kind of like a reverse scabbard (Y'know, Winchester 73 et al).
