Thanks to all for these great ideas. I thought my mind was made up until the last batch. A lot of units come with a mounting bracket designed for round handle bars. Looks like they may not work on F6B bars. I will figure this out when I get some time around other F6B's.
I have an item like this in the spare parts bin. https://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/...cradle-adapter Used a flat strip of metal also from spare parts, had to drill one hole, already had one, added some small bolts, maybe 10/32s and pinched the square bars. Works great and with a med sized RAM arm it puts the unit right where I like it. You can also use the type that goes on/under the reservoir bolts. That puts the unit too far toward me for my taste. Lots of options.
IMHO find an old 550 and never look back !!!

RAM makes a nice ball mount that will bolt directly to the front brake reservoir with longer bolts. I have a Tom Tom Rider floating around here somewhere. Send me a PM if you are interested in going that route.
Still love my Garmin 550

Some of the Garmin GPS units are TPMS capable. Just need to buy the extra tire sensors. The newer Garmins also have a database of photo radar and red light camera alerts like what some radar detectors have. Those are some nice additional features. They also have MP3 players, points of interest (like gas stations) and phone paring.
