Default GPS Mount

I have a Garmin 120 and have been looking for a mount to install on my riser. What have you done or used? Pictures?

Thanks

I tried a couple different mounts for my Garmin and didn't like any of them.
2 mounted to my handlebars and one to the dash.
They vibrated and i couldn't read them so I just went back to carrying it in my pocket.
If anyone has a mount that is stable and readable I would love to hear about it.

We just put a mount on my dash, but I've yet to get any pictures.....I'm hoping it works out though! I'll try to get some pictures up if I can get out there in the daylight this week!

I've got a RAM mount in the center of my handlebars, above the riser. Works perfect.

I don't try to read it while I'm going 35mph, but it seems alright?

I use this: http://www.ram-mount.com/CatalogResu...5/Default.aspx

Plus this: http://www.ram-mount.com/CatalogResu...5/Default.aspx

I can get pictures tonight if it helps?

RAM-mount on the dash for me. Use the shorter arm and it'll reduce vibration. Use the same setup on the dirt bike and in the truck, works great.

With the 60-series, it's a good idea to use the wrist strap to secure the GPS to something other than the mount... they rely on teh belt clip to latch in, and the belt clip is prone to failing. If I had to buy another GPS today I'd have gone with the 76 for just that reason.



Different GPS, and I use the short arm on the sled too (old pic):

Garmin has a mount that is a carabiner, webbing, and mount that threads into the back of the Rino. I am getting one of those and hanging it from my backpack strap.
