Ram as well, very solid and easy to adapt to almost any machine or application.

Agreed on the Ram mount. I made a mount for my handlebars that puts the GPS right next to the pod, so while it's not completely out of harms way, it's much lower than a standard off the shelf handlebar mount.
I moved my winch controller switch for the same reason, damn thing was sticking up above the bars like a sore thumb. Now it's tucked underneath where it won't get torn off in case of a roll and it protects me from getting nailed in the chest by it. (yes, that has happened and it left a mark LOL)

i made this for couple widgeons king,its made out of alum on the suzukis they have this threaded hole on bolth sides of the bars,so i got rid of the stupid standerd warn mount that sticks up and replaced it with the one bolt mount.powder coated black it is very strong and sits out of the way and not to high up and looks clean.
so what do you guys think? now i need to get on the gps mount!

I just use the Garmin handlebar mount for my 60CS - no issues. It does stick up like many, but I plan to keep my roll count at zero...

Don't forget, too, that you need the antenna to have a clear view of the sky- under handlebars or other metal makes it harder for the GPS to get good signal strength from the satellites. At that wavelength/frequency, that does matter! (watch your GPS sometime when you go through heavy forest after a rain or snow - very low signals!)
