Default Mounting Gps to my f4i?

I would like to mount my Garmin Gpsmap 60c to my bike somewhere not to block my view of the speedo and i dont know where to get one. It needs to be easy to take the gps off while thebike is parked but strong enough to hold it in place while riding. Anyone have one on their f4i? Anyone have pics? Ebay has a few Garmin mounts but none will fit on my hanlebars. Thanks for any help.

When I had my 06 F4i, I bought this... I changed it around a bit and got some longer bolts and now I have it on my 06 1000RR


I bought it from this guy and he was very easy to deal with and was very helpful

Sorry.... actually, this is the one I bought:


The mounting bolts replace these bolts


It does not change to position of the clip-ons at all.

This is a sweet set up cost me less than $100. I like it on the tank better than on the handle bars, its adjustable,its removable, i can take the gps off for geocaching or i can take the the wing nuts off and just be left with the bottom mount when im not using it. And if i take the gps holder off i can put my radar detector or video camera on the platform. Here are a few pictures i took of it on my bike.

Hmm... the problem for me is if I'm far enough out of town to require a GPS I'd also have a tank bag. What you've posted is more commonly used as a camera mount (i.e., short term use).

Any issues with opening the fuelcap when the mount is installed?
