Nuvi 200 GPS on left bar, ITouch on right bar (both Ram Mounts); both powered under fairing off of ACC pigtail. Have quick connect harness made to easily remove either cable...or if I want to change over to something else.

I still have my 3rd gen Ipod mount on the right bar...just in case my ITouch gets stupid...

Got my TomTom Rider mounted via a mount from eGlideGoodies and wired via a relay switched by the ignition. With it offset to one side my wife can also see it so we have two pairs of eyes navigating!

Here is my solution for mounting my GPS and POV camera on a RKC. I think this is the cheapest and simplest solution for a Ram mount. It also gives me enough flexibility to switch between my GPS and POV camera with a single mount. The ball is possibly less obtrusive when the GPS/camera is removed than a mount on the handlebars. I did have to use a 1/2" extension to give my camera a little bit more room. Without the extension it would even be less obtrusive. (Obtrusive is a big word for me. I think I'll use it all day. Obtrusive, Obtrusive, Obtrusive, Obtrusive...)

In case the pictures aren't clear enough - I just mounted a simple Ram ball through the middle screw hole in the windshield cross brace. The cable is routed from the battery under the tank and out the hole in the nacelle under the handlebar. The cable tucks into the hole when not in use. Clean...

Now if I can find something as simple for the Ultra I'll be laughin.

I've got an analogue GPS. It's folded up and I keep it in the tour pack.

I ran a car charger wire back to the tour pack. Plug the cig lighter connector into the 12 volt plug in the tour pack

I just use the suction mount that came with mine and mount it to the chrome gas cap on the E Glide.

I use the 12V outlet in the Tour Pak to run an FM transmitter for my iPod. With it so close to the antenna I rarely get interference when using the low end of the band. I build playlists of about 3 hours each, and just change them at a gas stop. I'm listening through a J&M headset, audio quality is fine for those speakers. Much cleaner than using the Aux input, and easily secured when I stop.

Default Ram Mount

I used a ram-mount on the clutch.
I bought a bare wire USB cord and wired it to the back side of the cigarette lighter.
Works great.

  • RAM HOLDER GARMIN NUVI 750 760 770 RAM-HOL-GA26U
