Handlebar Mount?

[cgk2003]

For use on a motorcycle, any thoughts about a suitable mount?

Try this link. I have a mount for my CD player, I'll probably get one for my IQue (when I finally get it!)

THe only problem with using it on a Motorcycle is that it is in no way weather resistant or anything so if you get caught in the rain or anything, it will definitely not hold up to that.

Correct! But, let's be logical: I rode in rains but it never came without at least half-hour notice. I stop for 2 minutes, cover it with a plastic bag, and away I go. At least, that's how I dealt with the CD player.

You don't want to use a 'hard' mount on this thing. A RAM or a Saeng mount might just shock an iQue enough to disable it... maybe permanently! I'll be using mine in the map compartment of a tank bag. That should keep it safe from weather, give the antennae an open sky and allow for some shock proofing.

It's possible Touratech might come out with a rubber mount suitable for a PDA - that I might consider. Currently I use a Touratech mounted to a RAM mount attached to the handlebar. It's kept my Street Pilot safe and visible for several years.

Check out Cycoactive for the above mounts: http://www.cycoactive.com/default.htm

Someone has already done it... http://www.cycoactive.com/gps/gallery/bmw_gpsmount.html

It's near the bottom on the left mounted on a BMW R1150 GS

G-d forbid, spit three times to the left (not into the wind). If any of those mounts 'knocks' the IQue out, we wasted about $450 and got a piece of junk. I did not get mine yet, but it's going on a Saeng mount on my Valkyrie, and it better be flawless!!
