I've seen some posts from a few looking for decent easy on/off mounting hardware. This mount from Leader MC Products has been working great for me:
http://www.leadermotorcycle.com/PROD/ED-CH-GPS.html
It's chrome and it doesn't look bad on the bars when the PV is removed. It basically just slides in and out of the mount in about 2 seconds! It comes with a a safety screw if you're worried about it coming off. I haven't used the screw and have had no problems. I also counter sunk some holes in the mounting plate so the screws on the back plate would be flush. It works great for gps's too. They also have a movable extention that gives you the ability to put it at any angle you want, but the mount alone works fine for me.

If you look at the picture where it shows it's mounted. You can see a small hole in the side of the bar mount. there is a safety screw that you can put in there that requires a small allen wrench. That would be somewhat of a deturrent for anyone to just yank it off without having the wrench let alone the proper size. If you're worried about it you could just slideit off and lock it in your saddlebag? They do have a bunch of different mounts and extetions....I'm sure you could find something that woul be secure.

What I am most worried about, as far as mounting goes, is the actual data cable connection from the side of the PV. Does anyone think this will wear out over time?
Even with all the mounts posted, everyone still has to disconnect the data cable to completely remove the PV from the bike.... right?

But they NEED to make a protective CAP to go over the end of the cable, for those times when the PV is disconnected. Remember, anytime your ignition switch is "On", those wires are "Live". I experimented with some home remedies, but never came up with anything worth a darn. If anybody has a solution, we are in need of a hero!!!

My data cable stays on the bike ALWAYS. It's routed inside the main wiring harness under the seat and fuel tank.

... i was just thinking of maybe wrap PV connector tight with some plastic and make a mold out of wax.. then once mold is done and carved out.. u can pour some hot plastic or a mix of epoxy and make a dummy male connector... still winter here, will try something once my scoot comes out of storeage... just an idea..
