From the drivers seat; does the gps block your view of the top gauge?
I have a garmin 276 and on the right side it partially obstructs the top right gauge.

Does the gps vibrate much with the ram mount?

Here is an unfortunately relatively poor pic of a 2620 on the left bar.  Doesn't give a lot of perspective.  Enough, however, to show that it can be mounted without blocking your view of any of the instruments.   I can set the mount such that the 2620 is pretty much tucked in behind the windscreen without it blocking the view of any other instrument.

OK, I see 128, is there a 130 out there?

Don,

How about vibration with the ram mount?
The mount I am using now is rock steady, but it blocks my $100+ oil temperature gauge  [smiley=nixweiss.gif]

I am thining about switching to the ram mount, maybe even mounting one of the ball/baseplate to the fairing right above the oil temp.

I don't remember. I'll check when I get home tonight. Vibration isn't a problem. The two rubber ball mounts help with that.

Everyone,

Just purchased an Garmin 2620, reviewed the past posts and got some great input on choice for RAM Mounts.

I do not have it yet, how does the unit power up Cigar Lighter adapter? Also notice can be hard wired to battery.

Previously using the Garmin GPS III.

Here's two harnesses that work really well with the 2620 and the SEEG.

First, you can get the power/audio cable from Cycoactive.

I got the DC/Audio cable mentioned in the next post but didn't use it the way it's manufactured to be used.  It's a cable that's desighed to be hard wired to a power source.  So you'd take it someplace like the aux power connector on the cig ligher plug inisde the fairing.

If you do that, however, then you've always got a stub of wire sticking out of the fairing.  Since I only care about having the GPS unit on the bike if I'm on the road I didn't want the wire sticking out all the rest of the time.

So used that cable and got a nice little cig lighter/power plug from Radio Shack.  It's got a push type wire release and an externally serviceable mini fuse right on the plug.  Then just shortened the purchased harness to a nice length and voila, a slick clean functional install that (GPS and all) is on or off the bike in 60 seconds flat.

You're gonna love the 2620.  The RAM mount won't be a problem so far as vibration is concerned (at least it hasn't been in just about 5000 miles of on bike operation on mine).  If you go with the audio connections also as is described in the next post that's an even greater benefit.  You're going to find, however, that the software in the unit is so intuitive that the audio really is unnecessary if you don't want to use it or mess with the extra connections to the front of the radio.

Good luck!
