I'm looking into mounting my GPS to my Dragon. I was wondering what type of mount everyone was using and where they were mounting it (ie, handlebars or dash). I have the Garmin Nuvi. I don't need it mounted to where I have to see it while riding...I want it where its plugged in and to where I can use it at intersections and other stops. Thanks!

I asked the same question in the GPS forum about a month ago and got a great answer that worked for me...
Get yourself a RAM handlebar style mount for your GPS ( the one with the Stainless steel u-bolt).
Trim the bottom of the handlebar pad about an inch , then install the ram mount on the steering post. I have an '06 600HO fusion and this worked great for me and my Garmin 60CSX GPS. It's not in my face so I would not get tempted to look at it when at speed, but its easily there at intersections and stops.
for the 12V, there is a tie- wrapped plug on the right side of the airbox, should be easy to find. It has a common 12v connector that is available at Radio shack. Because I have the rider-select, I routed it thru the gap that is created when you use a position less than 7 (I never use 7), you might have to drill a hole in the dash and put a 12v plug in there... good luck..
