shouldnt be hard to fab something, post pic of the GPS and how it mounts to whatever its supposed to mount to (car dash etc)

Devo has a camera mount that screws into the tank, something like that could be made to work~

wtf chandler. You give the local guys a whole 28 minutes to post up a reply before you order something online. At 10 pm, I might add. But in your defense. I checked the source that I had and they don't offer one for your bike. I got one for my ZX6 and it worked well. For all you others that may be interested in something similar - check it out. There's some other options on the next page. http://www.wps-inc.com/wps/WICATALOG...037&PAGEGO=312

Apparently this page took a dump right after I posted. It will be back up - they must be doing maintenance or something.

I zip tied mine on the inside of my fairing stay bracket. it worked great until Chicago... the zip ties loosened up just enough so that I had to grab it and turn it to see it. PITA. I would say anything better than zip ties is a win. lol
