    After a little trial an error I got it all squared away and all the wires hidden. Looks great, just need to get some pics.

    Handlebar Mount Position

    Does the handlebar mount put the gps too close to your face? Is it easy to change the info on the screen? I like mine dead center, but can't find a mount that would do this with my setup with the Klockwerks. This has been a big issue for me. I love to ride with a GPS as my eyes aren't fantastic and it's how I know the names of the streets coming up. Any suggestions / advice would be appreciated.

    It looks like you tapped into the handlebar. Great idea!!! Can you post pic without the mount attached? And, post a brief explanation of what you did?

    HUD: Fantastic idea!

    G;Day FLA;
    How clear is the HUD GPS on your bike, both day and night?
    What make is it and what screen are your running?
    You just gave me the idea of fitting one to my bike. It sounds great and a good option re GPS.
    Im running a Klockwerks dark flare screen so just wondering about fit and reflective ability.
    I have been trying to work out best options for fitting my Garmin Zumo, but dislike RAM mounts sticking out all over the bike. Other option was mounting it to my center console lid with 4 small bolts, so the holder and power supply remain in situ but I could remove the GPS at will. It also is central in view and clears the bars on full lock.
    Any info and even better, pictures are welcomed mate.
    Thanks FLA.
    Ken
