thanks Todd! so far its been fine on windshield! except the extra weight making it vibrate the windshield! So any other Ideas much appreciated! I put a piece of weather stripping to help support it at top of my dash too, but if I can find a better way to mount it that will be awesome thanks alot going to look at pics now.

Whats up with wood? thats an idea I had but didnt want to screw into something important and mess up dash! Ur Grandpas scoot looked like it has plenty of room for a handle bar mount on Ebay Cheap! I just aint got no handlebar to mount too! Thanks though it is another idea for me to consider! I imagine the wood pieces are to stop the windshield form rattling! Thanks again for ur help and ideas! I can see now more what type of mount u guys used! Looks like he mad a sun shade box for it? heres the Ebay link on what I wanted to try but no exposed handlebar to mount too and mirrors are like 3inch diameter and the grips I was thinking maybe there too! Or maybe a mount that bolts to the mirror? cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&Item=190431705997&Category=73353&_trkparms=algo%3DLVI%26its%3DI%26otn%3D2#ht_1833wt_972 heres the mirror mount I would try it but a little expensive! cgi.ebay.com/RAM-Motorcycle-Bike-Mirror-Mount-TOMTOM-ONE-XL-GPS-/170227431259?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0#ht_1228wt_911

will have to post pics tomorrow of GPS mount ,the way I am using now really like to get the mirror mount any body know if the YY250T-2 mirror hole is a 11mm? cgi.ebay.com/RAM-Motorcycle-Bike-Mirror-Mount-TOMTOM-ONE-XL-GPS-/170227431259?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0#ht_1228wt_911

right now using suction cup the Big Guy, Rich, from ScootDawg said he has been using the suction cup for 3yrs with no problems! I add a second velcro mount to with a piece of weather stripping velcroed to dash! We have many bumpy streets and the most train tracks ever in our town gave it a good test, holding good! really like that mirror mount if it would work not sure if mirror hole is 11mm? cgi.ebay.com/RAM-Motorcycle-Bike-Mirror-Mount-TOMTOM-ONE-XL-GPS-/170227431259?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0#ht_1228wt_911 and it is also pretty expensive wish I had somewhere to attach the handle bar mount but all my bar is covered also saw they make brake reservoir mounts!

[fairweasel2323]

heres pic! got some 3m weather stripping and the GPS velcroed to the sriping on dash and using Suction cup for extra support, till I figure out something better! But it seems to be holding up good! found a bar I might be able to mount to with the handle bar mount? Just got to trim some plastic!

[fairweasel2323]

I personally dont trust suction cups. Maybe just personal preference. I like the Ram mounts for the scooters or motorcycle. Suction cups I leave for the cars so if they let loose they have something to fall into.

Are those the ram mounts with the u-bolts mount under the handlebar cover?

Trying to see which ram mount to get from ebay.

Well yes and NO. If I had known that they sold the Diamond mount with Ubolt I would have gotten it. I actually added the bought the Ubolt and drilled my standard Diamond mount to fit the Ubolt. I would have gotten this. www.mountguys.com/product_p/ram-b-231z.htm

I velcro mine right above my instrument cluster, right next to my tach.

[fairweasel2323]

They do have some thats a u bolt, but the one I got is just one screw plastic piece with rubber cushion in the inside to keep from damaging the mirrors, it comes with them for handle bars any ways worked good! alot better then the suction cup and velcro mount I was using before its in previous pics in the thread. I have been happy with it wish I got the case that weather proofed it but it said it only fit for 1 and 1/4 so I got one that said 1.3 but now realize that 1 and 1/4 will fit around mirror. so could of gotten a mount with a weather proof zipper case! Heres the link for RAM just enter ur brand of GPS and model select motorcycle ram-mount.com/Products/GPSMounts/tabid/135/Default.aspx

the one I bought for my majesty is still under the seat of my car from when I tested it a long time ago. I could never figure out how to mount it where it was shielded from the sun light. in direct light it is impossible to see. I might try molding some fiberglass to block some light and paint it flat black. If I have to stop and cover it to see it I might just as well take my garmin etrex legend out of my pocket and be able to have a gps that you can zoom the map out or in as necessary. Those 5-600 dollar one meant for a bike you can probably see in sun light but I got better uses for that kind of money. john

yeah I throw mine in night mode in the sun and it actually helps me see it but sometimes its hard to see but usually i can adjust it differently so sun dont hit it where i can see it better
