Just finished adding the Touratech GPS mount for the Garmin GPSMap 76CS. Worked out nice but I did need to modify the mount, diameter was too small for the Uly bar. They do make an adaptor but I didn't want the GPS pulled any further out from the bar. The mount is very well made and has rubber damping to reduce vibration on the GPS unit. I have the GPS wired to the power plug in a semi permanent manor. I may go to full permanent hardwiring at a later date. We'll see how it works out in it's current setup first. Have a great 4th folks!
Here's a pic of the mount with the GPS on the bike.

Give me a break guys... I'm new at this "Adventure Riding" thing. The "too clean" problem will be taken care of this weekend, hence the GPS install. The son and I are meeting up to do a short tour across the North part of Washington State.

I Just thought a few people might like to see what it looks like to have the GPS installed on the Bike. You don't have a completely clear view of the idiot lights but it isn't hard to see around the GPS either and the GPS controls are easy to operate.

Cheers guys and ride safe.

Just kidding, Ron. Looks good. Similar to the Magellan I have on mine.

Hey, no problem Aeholton... I took it all as fun. Looks like the position of your Magellan is almost identical.

Pwnzor, your image doesn't show up on my computer? I would be interested in seeing what you have.

Ride safe,
