I used a "MINERALLAC" pipe clamp when I used the GPS on the virago. I put it right between the handle bar risers and mounted the base for the GPS to it. On the Venture I used a mount made for a CCTV camera I had laying around. Rod

  Subject: [Virago] GPS handlebar mount


Has anyone mounted a GPS on their handlebars? I've seen two different styles of mounts and am wondering if vibration would be a problem. The simplest mount I've seen is pretty much a ring with a slot to slide the round attachment on the back of the GPS into. It's small also and wouldn't sit up too high. (I don't have a windshield.)

The other style is a ring with a swiveling arm that looks like it'd have less vibration, but I'm only guessing. I've used zip ties the only time I've attached it with a layer of foam between the unit and the bar. A mount would be easier tho.

  Any suggestions?
