I ordered today from Amazon the same one this link has for $6.00 less. BUT,
it won't be here in time for the weekend. Not a problem, I've still got zip
ties for now. I have read some reviews about the mount breaking so they
suggest using the lanyard as backup. But, since the mount isn't a ball type,
I'm wondering how well it will fit on the bars. I've got the stock bars and
ziptied the handheld GPS on the right up the angle. This one looks like it
will only work in the middle of the bars in front of the gauges. Guess I'll
see when it gets here!
