Ken - here are some additional photos. I run the power cable from the left hand cubby behind the instrument panel and out the top, there is a gap there that makes this easy. Of course you have to drill a small hole in the cubby to route the cable, or wire it in somewhere else. At any rate, wiring doesn't block the instruments. No sure on how to do an international shipment assuming you want one, but we can probably figure it out.Originally Posted by Baytown

I have mine mounted on the left handlebar. This way I can push buttons while riding. In my opinion it may be difficult to enter info while mounted on the windshield.

Looking at these pictures it appears that it is not attached to the windown vent. How is it attached. I know you use suction cups, but I might be able to drill / mount a ball mount. Am I missing something with how this attaches?
Who are you addressing your question to? If to me, the mount attaches under the upper cowl with 3M double sided tape. No attachment in any way to the windshield or vent. The standard Garmin suction cup mount then attaches to the mount, and is secured with an additional tether in case the suction lets go. Does this help?
If you want to try and use a "Ball Mount" instead of a Garmin suction cup I can provide one without the plastic disc for the Suction cup. Less expensive, $40 instead of $50, shipping included. My only concern would be how much weight you want to put on it, it is designed for a 5" GPS with a plastic suction cup mount. Adding metal components (RAM mounts?) might be too much weight. Just letting you know.
