Re: Mounting a Garmin GPS


I made my own mount for my Garmin Nuvi a couple weeks ago. Total cost was about $1.00. I can take some pics for you if you cant follow what I'm about to say.
I used a #3 rubber stopper (right size for my stem)
a 3/16 by 3" screw with 1 washer and lock washer, nut

I drilled a 3/16" hole in the female portion of the dock. Helps if you have a drill press, straight through into the rubber stopper to make sure everything was in line.

I then used a file to remove some of the top of the stopper so it would fit right into the round opening of the socket of the dock.

After everything fit well insert screw through dock into stopper, add washer (must be same size as bottom of stopper) followed by lock washer and nut.


Insert into your stem (my cbr had a plastic cap over the hole) Once its in there begin to tighten the screw as you do this the stopper will expand on the bottom giving you a secure fit. If your worried about losing it, I can move the front end around with the dock, its not going anywhere. I have tested it to squidly like speeds and haven't lost it yet. Plus it looks like its supposed to be there. Overall I was very happy with the results.
