Has anyone installed a Garmin model 2610 or 2620 GPS on their SEEG or any other Electra Glide model?

Seeing that computors are not friends of mine the idea of a GPS on the bike is tough.

But I like the thought of a device that will accurately ( and accurate is very important to me)
show speeds reached.

So  whats the best one going?
And where can a mount be purchased from? [smiley=nixweiss.gif]

The "FIND NEAREST BAR" function is the best feature of all!

Good answer WFP!

And I could have the bars sectioned into

1) Drinking bars
2) T***y   bars
3) sushi bars
4) Grizzley bars (typically a spouse of those that work at #2)

The only thing I did before mounting the parts was shrink some heat-shrink over the u-bolt to insulate against the metal-to-metal contact on the handlebar.


Great Tip!

Ram mounts also has a chrome clamp instead of the u-bolt. It looks so much better. When I get home tonight I'll post a picture.

I would have loved to do something like that but couldn't find a piece to work with the larger outside diameter of the Wild 1 handlebars.  So I ended up using the u-bolt setup for now.  Then made a mount out of balsa that's very much like the piece pictured and then sent the balsa off to a buddy at a machine shop to copy it out of aluminum.  When I get that back I'll get it chromed and (hopefully) have a better looking mount than the u-bolt.
