Agree with Motobiker about the "safety" factor. To be honest I can see how twist and pull that whole mounting out of the plastic clock surround unless you fit it onto the metal bar that goes around the cockpit.
The best solution is still I think a ram mount which you can undo in seconds taking the whole unit with you.
Having said all of above
my father in law travelled through the whole of Africa, Spain, France and the UK last year only locking his GPS Zumo with the little screw on the OEM bracket. He never took it off once and was of the view that it is insured should some scrote decide to nick it.
Here is my GPS setup on the HP2.....
The start looking at the bike without the screen...
A bit of grinding....
A touch of welding
Mock fitting and checking for any additional changes
We decided this will be the base for the screen fittings and the GPS bracket
Fitting some "wings" for the screen
Chad has done a fair bit of fabricating before and the man has a tool for every job and type of material. Cleaning up the alu bracket for the GPS with some alu cleaning brushing thingie tool
When in doubt grab a bigger hammer and hit it
The poor vice took a beating yesterday
GPS Bracket fitting on the crossbar
It took a bit of bending and moving around to get the right clearances between the clocks and the screen
GPS will go here
With the screen in place and fitted
The gap between the fairing and headlight is being blocked with another alu cut out which I need to fit and secure on the fly screen.
At least now the fly screen is more secure and less wobbly and the GPS in sight out of the way from the other controls.
All done with a great helping hand from my mate Chad
Might not be what you are after but suppose the more idea's the better
