    Same exact practice here... except I have a Magellan.

    I bought the Garmin 2797 and it's a huge 7 inch GPS and I ran that for awhile on a ram mount on the back of my Madstad shield base. However after getting caught in a couple of rain storms unprepared I had to stop and remove the unit so it didn't get wet. I then spent the big money and bought a dedicated motorcycle unit, a Zumo 595 for $900 bucks! It's nice and I really like some of the features including the TPMS built in and the fuel monitor. It ties in the audio really easy and even does Bluetooth for my Sens headset but I wish it was bigger!...........

    terryboyle just a few more photos, it mounts to a home made bracket that bolts to the top bolt on the windshield and two side tape
    so it will not move around since I just used the top bolt.

    Is there GPS that will accept a Ram ball in the rear, similar to a camera tripod mount? The units I see have a pre plugged bracket. I would prefer to just screw a ball to the rear and use a Ram arm and a separate power cord.

    GPS? Thought getting lost is half the fun of most rides, would like a phone app that would tell me what hard surface roads are not dead ends

    stroguy which GPS are you wanting to mount on a ram ball mount?
    They make a mount for just about everything that's mountable.
