Added quick cheap center nut GPS ball mount
Added this Garmin / Tom Tom mount
Here's where you get them.
"Staples" has em is the US too.....but whole kit is $19
Pull your center cap drill tiny hole and back out existing screw in
ball mount put small washer at back of center cap and reattach
with longer screw if you have it.
Easy fast cheap .......I use a Garmin Nuvi 885T which has a 4 hour battery

power
would do .........but this particular Garmin has a radio transceiver in the
power plug that's feeds MSNDirect info such as news feeds, POI's & Real Time Traffic
Data etc into the GPS..............only thing it don't do is buy me a
round down at the pub.......the 885T......has all the whistles and then some
Tells ya where the nearest petrol station is ........all voice and bluetooth
Anyhow in summary the power cord has to be exposed for it to receive
signal ..........maybe I could velcro it in up under the fairing .....huh we'll see.
