Re: How do you mount a GPS so it won't shake apart?

I want to mount a GPS on my Honda Shadow VT500C.

I have a box on the luggage rack in which I kept
an analog multimeter. When I had occasion to use it,
I discovered that the meter was busted all to hell
and flopping around inside. When I got it home
and opened it up, the guts poured out like sand.

I envision the vibration doing the same thing to my
GPS.

It's a small bike with no console or other obvious
place to mount it. Only thing I can think of is to
make a bracket for the handlebars...but that's gonna
couple it nicely to the vibration.

Suggestions on how to mount it so it won't shake apart?
Thanks, mike

My GPS mount is from RAM Mounting Systems. I have a U-bracket on the handlebars that affixes a ball, then there is an arm, then a special holder for my model of GPS. Works great.

I can't speak to the vibration issue. I have a Honda Shadow 600, and from your description is vibrates a lot less than your bike.
