I bought one of these almost seven years ago and have been very happy with it. I mounted it to the metal strip on my Memphis Fats and it has been perfect. The only issue was finding a flush mount screw that looked like the other screws from the outside.

All the other mounts are either ugly or complex. This is simple and elegant and puts the GPS right where I want it.


We all like to think of ourselves as rugged individualists. But when push comes to shove most of us are sheep who do what we are told. Worst of all, a lot of us become unpaid agents of whoever is controlling the agenda by enforcing the current dogma on the few rugged individualists who actually exist.

The price is good too. You went through an existing hole in the windshield?


Always remember to be yourself. Unless you suck. Then pretend to be someone else.

One of the bolt holes that hold the metal strapping of the windshield. Just replaced the screw with one a bit longer.

I made my own for my "el cheapo" $100 Garmin. I fabbed up a metal frame that the Garmin sits in, and it even has a locking tab that has to use a key to take the device off. I don't have a "fancy phone" like most of you fellas and I am too lazy to keep taking the Garmin off the bike every time I go in to pay for gas.

That's why I used a cheapo Garmin. If it was stolen I could always get another for less then $100. Now that I bought a high dollar one I remove it whenever I leave the bike somewhere I can't see it.
