RAM mount kit for the mount..

and I can't believe I'm posting this, but you can get universal 12 volt cigarette lighter receptacles anywhere and wire that to the battery with an inline fuse and plug the thing in and out. :nono

Generally I go on a rant about how this isn't a Honda Goldwing, but they do pretty sick wheelies too so.....

They generally update faster as you're traveling and are more accurate to your position.

Plus then your phone will still be charged up by the time you get to your destination, instead of having 50% of your smartphone battery drained from screen and gps usage.


That being said...I have a dedicated GPS, but I never really use it because its a few years old. My GS3 outclasses it now. It looks up places faster, and I will throw headphones on and put it in my pocket if I want instructions while I'm on my motorcycle.

Add in a charge charger and cradle, and it is great for the car too.

It does piss me off occasionally though, when it loses signal for no reason or thinks I'm driving in a field instead of the road next to it.

I have a Dynojet LCD and used a mount from http://www.techmounts.com
I used the 70050X mount that clamps around the fork because I have a Scotts
damper so I could not use the steering stem mount that I like.

Its made really nice but is did cost like $75
