I have a Garmin Zumo 660 and am looking for suggestions on where to install a RAM mount on my 1190SX. I had it previously mounted on my XB12SS at the handlebar. I'm wondering if anyone has done this yet.

Option 1) In-line with mirror post

Option 2) In-line with brake/clutch reservoir (assuming bolt spacing is within spec)

Option 3) U-bolt mount with double-socket swivel arm

Let me know your thoughts, as I'm open to suggestions.

Awesome idea. I'm worried the GPS will obstruct my view of the dash. Is that a RAM mount?

Looks like this is the Ram equivalent.

U bolts work fine on the SX handlebar.

That is a LifeProof mount. The ball is smaller than Ram. It does bounce a little because the stabilizer moves.

Best Buy has the Iphone motorcycle mount on sale for $10 and I have the quick mount adapter stuck on my phone case.

If you run aftermarket mirrors, RAM makes a 1" ball with a M10x1.25 threaded post that fits directly where the stock mirror used to go. Very clean mount.

the mirror post adapter idea is a good one. Trying to determine what will be aesthetically pleasing, and functionally stable. I may see about a top clamp bolt replacement ball like I have on my XB12.
