Well I was finally able to get to mounting the GPS in a more permanent postion. I will try it here for a while and see if I still like it after a good long trip over the easter weekend.
In this photo the gps appears to be hiding the tach a little. This is just the angle from which I took to picture. When you sitting in the saddle it blends nicely (imo) with the contours of the instrument cluster
I used a cycle gadgets post mount for a 7/8 handled bar. As the windscreen support bar that it is attached to is actually pressed into an oval as opposed to being true round it fit well. 7/8 diam would actually had been too big if not for the shape of this support bar. I wanted the brushed alluminum finish one from cycle gadgets but my storefront only had the black allum one in stock.
I am still using the Garmin Marine mount that came with the GPS but I do have the Touratech vibration dampner & locking one on order.
My XM Antenna is still velcro'd to the brake fluid cap... this too will change when I ultimatly figure out just where to put this thing. Although I will say that in this position it works well and although I was fearfull that my body would be blocking the signal from time to time this has yet to happen.
With all of this said, those of you that have the 376c, just where are you putting the XM antenna on your bike.. I am struggling trying to find this hockey puck a home.
Thanks,
Duke
