Default GPS mount for iron 883

Hello,

Anyone know of a good Garmin GPS mount for my 2010 Iron 883?

I have the Garmin NUVI 880.

Thanks

I use this on my V-Rod I have the Iron bars on it and it blends in great and is easy on and off. It's held great on a few Road trips as well as around the town at the beach.

This looks good ImNoPrince.

Looking at the design I wonder if the GPS will start rotating due to the vibration while riding. Does this happen to yours?

Thanks

Nope it holds great and at speeds of over 75 for long periods of time. It never vibrated or moved at all on several 3+hr rides. It can be adjusted to any viewing angle and I really like that .
I got it just to use for a charity ride but the thing works so well i just keep my GPS on the Bike now I had another Solid mount and didn't like that I could only rotate the GPS to change the Angle this it the Ticket and can't beat the price.

I love the idea of being able to mount my GPS, but honestly I would be afraid that mother would fly right off the bike. Can you honestly say with confidence that it isn't going anywhere? I mean for $10, it I'm not worried about getting hosed on the mount but I don't want to lose a $300 GPS.

Update: I bought the one that ImNoPrince suggested from Ebay. I tested it today on my iron with my nuvi 880. I was a little worried that my GPS will vibrate or change its position or even fly away. The GPS mount was perfect. Did not move from it’s original place. I like the fact that I can remove the mount quickly without any tools and that I only paid $10. I did not go over 60 so I am not sure what will happen at greater speeds. I did go over a few potholes with no issues. I will try to take some pics to show how it looks on my iron. I hope this info helps someone else.
Thanks ImNoPrince for your suggestion.

No Problem I had mine at speeds over 100 ( for very short spurts )this weekend bringing my Bike home from the beach. It was about 150 miles total of backroads and Hwy . The thing just works great.
