gps holder - any recommendations?

Post by rob dessureault » Thu Sep 22, 2011 7:47 am

I have a Garmin GPS and I'm looking into the different ways to attach it to my 2003 KLR. I was thinking about either the crossbar on the handlebars or possibly on the inside of the windscreen. What have others done or web sites that you would recommend? What works best and things to avoid? I would need it to easily detach so that I could use it in my car as well. Cheers Rob, [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

Hi Rob, I've got mine mounted on my bars, but that's too low and too close for easy reading while riding. I'm going to move it to above my instrument pannel. I got a Happy Trail Rallye Kit and I'll mount it on that when I get off my lazy butt! http://klr650blog.wordpress.com/2011/09/18/happy-trail-rallye-windscreen-system-review/ safe riding, Vik Banerjee threeohm@... www.thelazyrando.com

http://www.gpscity.com/gps-mount/universal-waterproof/aqua-box-6-medium I love mine. Completely water proof sitting in a parking lot all day or riding all day in the rain. You just can't drop your bike in a river and leave it. You would have more issues than a GPS anyway if that happened. The flex lens will yellow in a year or so in the sun, so order a few extra. (CHEAP! $5:00 bucks) Get the double ended 4" ball Stanton with the bar clamp ball on one end and a socket to mount to the unit case. Position completely adjustable John T.

I got a RAM mount with the mount to hold my Garmin eTrex and it works just fine. Easy to remove the GPS holder off the handlebar clamp too, loosen the ball socket enough to slip off the ball. I got it free so, its a wonderful deal... Dooden A15 Green Ape

Hi Kevin, good to see the carb go to someone who wants to learn, I ran across this link quite a while ago, pretty good explanation if I remember properly.....Enjoy the evening.....Greg http://www.gadgetjq.com/keihin_carb.htm From: Kevin To: DSN_KLR650@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, September 23, 2011 1:01:49 PM Subject: [DSN_KLR650] Free Carb Update Thanks to all of you who offered to relieve me of my old carb. It was fun to get notes from some people whose posts have been helpful to me in the past. I had intended to give it away on a first-come, first-served basis, but then I got a note from Kathleen, who said she would use it to further her mechanical education. I'm a strong admirer of women who are interested in equipping themselves to handle mechanical challenges. Kathleen is getting the carb. I regret that I only had one carb to give away. If I came across a cheap parts bike, I'd consider buying it just so I could give it away piece by piece and get more of your interesting emails.
