fitting a Garmin Nuvi
I know some of you have done it - I need pics of the bracket you used - Sprocketman................?
I also found a bracket from HongKong which will fit on bikes with bars, like the KLR, etc and may be of interest to those of you that ride other makes.........really cheap at $3..........

I know it is not the braket but Sproket shows. If you need a picture I will go take one from the side. I also found that after you ride alittle bit with it. I used some glue to help it from not rotating.
Thanks guys ! I found that "jewel" of a post about how to use the shaft down the centre of the headstock, and all is now easy !
I have threadbar, washers nuts etc, and making a mount is easy from there on.
Yay !
I'll post up when the Garmin 350 is fitted and running.
Thanks again.

Asshat I bought the machine from, tells me at the THIRD time of asking that the machine only has Europe maps...................useless to me, so cancelled the deal. I'll keep looking.
Mounting it through the headstock.

Yep Headstock is the fastest simplest way.
