Ram mount on the left for the GPS and plugged in to the lighter socket. Ram mount on the right for the IPOD - running on battery only. It looks a bit busy, but seems to work alright.

I'm very happy with the Kuryakn fuel door and Zumo 550. This is not the best picture, but you can get an idea of how it looks.

Mounted on my Road King using the additional existing Aux Light Switch.
The leads are already powered. Tap into the Orange wire for power and ground the other wire. Glisson makes hardwire cords for GPS units.
My mount comes from Leader Cycle Accys, and leaves nothing but a chrome clamp on the bars.

Garmin NUVI 200 GPS is mounted on the left handlebar with a RAM ball mount. Mounted just out of the way of the gas gauge.
I charge it in the car or house and take it along with no wire at all. Runs for 4 hours or more on a charge.
When not in use all that remains is the ball.
I have also seen a bare ball mounted on the center / top of the inner fairing for a nice look when not in use.

Garmin 665 and love in it! I modified the Ram mount placed it on the inner faring all wired under the faring real clean real simple the wire comes over the top of the fairing under the 3 dash bag I got to keep too!!! I was worried about bad vibration but the way I did the mount the only time it vibrates is when you start the bike at warm up idle. Soon as that is done your are good to go going down the road steady as can be.

My Garmin 660 is Ram mounted on the left side, and connected into the battery using a 2 way plug. All the wires from the gps mount run into and behind the fairing and one runs to the right side and into the aux port. So all voice commands and music from the gps go though the speakers on the bike and the helmets. PM me and I'll send pictures.

Take a look at my vidoe to see more.

Any questions after you watch it?

My AUX input is nonfunctional, so I use my full size ipod with an itrip. I can operate the ipod through my jacket pocket while riding.
