I dunno yet... It comes with a suction cup base, that would probably stick pretty well to my airbox cover... then again... that doesn't sound secure enough... I'll finagle something... maybe just let it ride in a tank bag...

This might sound stupid but the windshield mount is in two pieces you could take the part that actually mounts to the unit and velcro it to your tach. Then the unit would be in plain sight and shielded from the sun,which was my biggest problem using the unit in a tankbag. Remember,even if this blocks your speedo,the unit displays mph so you'd be ok. Ofcourse,when your trip is over you can just peel the velcro away or you could always drop $60 or so and buy a mc mount..... I'm glad you like the unit btw!

Sheilded from the sun? Yeah, not on my bike... no windyscreeny...

And Ebbs, those Ram Mounts are nice, but I think I can make something that will work just as well, if not better...

Mio 320. Seriously, it's very basic, but has a lot of the features the higher dollar ones have... $200 beans ain't bad either... If you don't have a Radio Shack card you can get another 10% off when you open one...

Plus they offer a replacement warranty....just in case you bounce it or it gets wet,etc..

Think i'm gonna pick up the Quest 2 for the bike

Have a SP 2610 in the truck and a Su...whatever... 530 in her car.

I really want to get one for my car at some point. Why don't you just use the same GPS and have mounts on both? Just for plugging in, because I'm sure you could rig up an auxilary to plug it into instead of hardwiring.

you can do that.

my $0.02 get something that's available for use on motorcycles and just get a beanbag/suction cup mount for your cager.

Saves ya $$$ in the longrun on hardware and software upgrades.
