got a gps and it aint got a bike mount. so has any one made, one?any tips on making one?any help muchly appretiatedI've made mine but it's model specific (Garmin 60 series). Made from Zn coated strong 2mm steel, cut with laser and bended some corners. Locking mechanism is done by use of belt clip.
Which model is yours, some pics?
Anyway the simplest mount I’ve seen is made of timber slab, plastic bottle and rubber. A special cup is made from the first two ones and the rubber straps hold the unit in place from top. Very stylish :D

Rob, if you are still having problems mounting the gps then take a pic of the back so i can see what connectors might fit, i have some old mounts form my tomtom rider days and some others from my garmin i just bought so may be able to come up with something.

ive made a net/template out of cardboard.. so i can cut it out of aluminium.but the next problems is how to get it to hold together i was thinking pop rivvets and sillicone? any ideas?


winxp--- if this ^^^ fails ill give you a shout thanks for the offer ;)

np m8...

send a pm to pale rider as he was the one who made us our radio mounts to fit a tomtom rider mount out of aluminium so he may be able to help in that department.
