Hey Condor

OK, Jack!

 

Here are the pics of how I mounted my GPS holder. It took me a while to borrow a camera. (No, I didn't take them 01/01/08! I just changed the batteries!)

 

This is on the left handlebar and I just used two zip ties.

I'm running out of room! The leather thing is my bottle/cup holder that I made from an old UPS belt.

For power I plugged into a power outlet that I have hanging in the fairing by the radios and ran the cord up through the louvered side piece.

The unit just snaps in. I mounted this just before my trip last summer so it has lasted over12k miles. It hasn't even rotated or slipped any.

It is also easy to glance at in the twisties to see how much curve you're getting into! I don't like the built in position on the Gold Wing, you have to look too far off the road.

We're talking about a ride this Sunday. If we end up in Helen I'll give you a call! Any idea what time you'll be around?

 

Have you seen this thread Second Annual North Ga. M&E 3-29 (MRE&R!), only an hour or so down from Chattanooga!

Todd buddy, the 60's must have been reeeaaal good man!

 

Yeah, the 60s were good! http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/36/36_11_1.gifhttp://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/36/36_11_5.gifhttp://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/36/36_11_23.gif But I still don't understand why you can't see the pics. I'm using FireFox but I even opened IE7 and checked. They came in there too!

 

[Guest ReinyRooster]

If there are pics in that first message, I'm not seeing the pics or any hint that there are any. Maybe I'm the one reliving the 60's!!

23 and out??? Is that enough to retire?

I was in Marietta, out of the Roswell building. 8 years was enough! We'll have to trade war stories one day!

I thought you had already lost them, but Dan's post cleared that up, you still have a few left............

Thanks for the pics Todd. I like the zip tie mount. I'd been thinking about drilling and tapping a couple of holes in the riser, but I think I like the tie idea better.

Rocket...thanks for the vote of confidence.....my wife and kids may not agree but that's another story...
