Garmin GPS mount for Spyder

[M2Wild]

Look what I found on eBay. I think this will work for a lot less money.

Beautiful workmanship! I have a Nuvi 350 that I really like, and this mount will allow me to use it with my Spyder. I know the Nuvi is not waterproof, and doesn't have all the nice stuff like the Zumo, but all I care about is the map feature. Seems like I read on another post where one can easily remove the little plastic piece just inboard of the throttle. Just wondering if that's a good place to mount this, and what size the bar is underneath. NICE FIND!

I would recomend mounting it on the left side there should be a small plastic piece that you can remove and mount it there. That way you have access to it if needed.

I know on the SM5 there is a small plastic piece on the right side; but, I'm not aware of one on the left.

Does anyone know the diameter of the handlebar that resides UNDER the little plastic piece? I am going to order that mount.

I have a 350 also and really like it. I was going to mount on right side but unfortunately the mount I ordered didn't work. It looks like the mount pictured is just what I need. I cut my plastic piece off next to the throttle with a utility knife-took about 10 seconds.

Trickie Dick, I was looking at the black plastic piece and thinking of removing it as well, but mounting the Garmin there might just place it too far to the right. I believe that, with a larger diameter mount, the GPS could be placed just inboard of the removable plastic piece and then be out of the way of the throttle and cut-off switch. The company makes mounts in several different diameters.

I have mine mounted on the right side where the plastic was. I used a 7/8" u bolt ram ball mount there, and a short ram arm extension to move the cradlke mount towards the center of the handlebars. The cradle has another ball on the back and the arm/extension just grabs both ram balls :yikes: and you can rotate the whole thing any direction/angle you desire.

Grabbing and rotating ballz .... sounds painful.:joke:

I have had that exact mount on for over a year and love it.

 

[SpyderMonkei]

That looks good

So that is the 7/8" model?

7/8" is the handle bar diam. He is using a larger one which the dude sells too. I like his mount position better and might do that myself.

Can't be on the left if you got a SM because the clutch is in the way. Might be able to if you got a SE.
