I am
Looking for ideas for mounting a GPS on the dash of the Vision. I am not sold on putting it behind the key or in the mirror bolt with a RAM mount.

Please share where you have mounted yours and why.

I have mine mounted with the suction cup mount behind the key. Well over 7000 miles with it like that without any issues. I usually pull the mount off when I'm cleaning or dusting the bike, then re-attach it.

It's been at speed in temps ranging from 25F to 109F. Low humidity to pouring rain. I like it there because it's easy to see and operate while riding.

Also, to me it just looks like that's where it belongs.

 Right here:

It is a Garmin 765t and I love it!  It is attached via double sided tape/sticker.  At first I just used the suction but then got concerned about loosing it at high speed.  So I removed the rubber sucker and put the base directly on the panel via the double sided tape.  ZERO issues.

Mines mounted just like pictured above - never had a problem with it. Works great.

I mounted my GPS on the handlebars. Easy to see and operate and I like the locking mount.

My Garmin 450 is mounted much like Rollin's
I find it easy to see and operate in that location.
