What is the diamater of the bars on the CUSE?  Looking at these mounts and they come in 1", 1 1/8" and 1 1/4".
I believe I want the 1" style.

Thanks

You're correct.  Stock bars are 1".

I like that chrome setup for mounting the gps Hunter. I have the 2620 on my ultra but ran the wire down the handle bar, on top of the tank and back to the fuse plugs. It works great and don't have the plug in at the lighter.
 Thanks for the pictures.   [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]

I really like the Garmin units and have been reading up on them as of late.but with the style of bars and the lack of a fairing I think a PDA style or handheld unit would be a good choice.Any one have any suggestions? Want to have a unit hopefully by Maggie Valley. Thanks,Q

I have a 2720 mounted on my VRSCSE, with no problems and it looks good. It's wired to my helmet speakers too.
Great unit.

BD...you may want to take a look at the Garmin 76SCX (or is it CSX?)....I have it, but also just bought the 2820...there's a use for both of them.  Take a look at the install thread I did on mine and it will give you an idea of what the unit looks like...it's not as easy to find points on the fly, but loading routes works the same as the rest of them.

I just installed a Garmin 2720 on an '03 SERK...got it from www.pcnation.com for $697.90 with free 3- day shipping.  That's the best price that I could find on a new unit.  Used the two wire rubber "battery tender" type plugs to install a temporarily mounted cigarette lighter...used the techmount chrome mount to install the GPS to the handlebars...plug in the speaker to the cigarette ligther and go.  Works great.  Bought the hardwire hookup from Garmin in case of rain and I can't use the speaker setup.  I can set it up or take it all off in less than 10 minutes.  It's all off right now, but I've got the routes planned and programmed for a Labor Day trip to the North Georgia Mountains.  Can't wait!

Components used were:
Techmount Mini Chrome 1" Handlebar Mount - Part #30997MC
Techmount GPS/XM Radio Accessory Top - Part #60991
Garmin Streetpilot Motorcycle Cradel Kit w/ Bare Wire Cable

I liked the mounting options for the parts you listed, but having some difficulty figuring out how to assemble all.
The Tech Mount Mini Chrome has one hole in the center for mounting the Tech Mount Accessory Top which has the 3 holes in the center (2 small and one large).

magicl1, I ended up not using the Mini Chrome baseplate due to the issues with the incorrect hole pattern that you're talking about.  I used locktite to mount the isolation top plate to the single hole in the middle of the Tech Mount using one of the bevel head screws that came with the Mini Chrome baseplate.

The isolation mount I got came with both long and short screws.  The long screws worked fine with the Garmin mount, but I did have to crush it together a bit on on end (can't remember which now) to get them started.

Hope that helps and I'll post some more photos after awhile which may be of additional benefit.

Magic...I got the mount you speak of, along with the cradle from Garmin, and just mounted the cradle directly to the chrome mounting plate that came with my Techmount.  The four rubber isolating bushings...and the package of nuts/bolts they gave me with the mounting kit (they also included a black anodized plate, which I do not need/use)...I put the four bushings in from the top of the plate, and four of the holes line up perfectly with the locking mount from Garmin.  When you put the screws in and tighten them down, it pulls the bushings up and swells them up on the backside of the mounting plate...it's as solid as a rock.  I will be happy to take a photo tonight and post if you would like.  Rode 1100 miles with it like this and still solid as a rock.  Perhaps you did not get the "new" Chrome plate?  The hole patterns on it match standard AMP patterns as well as the Garmin mount 4 bolt hole pattern.

Maybe they included different sets of screws with mine, but they don't stick out....like 103 said, one set was too long, the other too short, but one set was juuuuuust right.  I got so damn many screws though, I can't be certain where they came from, as I had a ram cradle for my other GPS, which came with screws, the screws that came with the Garmin cradle for the 2820, and then those from Techmount...pretty sure they were the one's from Techmount though.
