Global Positioning System
alright, i tried searching because im sure this has been discussed before, but we all know how lovely the search function is here - to make a long story short you cant search the term GPS because its too short and it seems no one had spelled out the acronym because that search yielded nada.
Anywho, my question is this. I know some of you have GPS's for your bikes - how did you mount them? I recently purchased a Garmin Nuvi 750 for the car, and figured it would be pretty cool if i could use it on my bike. I was hot to trot about using this, but I am pretty sure there isn't anywhere i could actually mount it on my F4I.

I know i could get one of those tank mounts used for cameras, but they are a little spendy - i'm looking to do something on the cheap here. My other though was a cheapy magnetic tank bag.
Any thoughts?

Works great. I have one on F4i.

I'm seriously considering getting one for mine (down the road, but it doesn't hurt to plan), and I'm curious to see how far it sticks up.

It is the basic ram mount diamond foot print.
I did have to modify it slightly as the holes were not as widely places as the gas tank bolts. I just used my drilled and shaved them wider - it is soft metal... Then I trimmed the bottom edge to fit the gas tank - you can see (just) how the bottom is slightly less pointed than the top)
I think I posted part numbers once before... one minute
