I am just purchasing a 2015 GSA LC, can anyone tell me what Sat Nags work on the standard mount? Garmin or otherwise?
Im confident my old 550 won't!

Nav V fits - I don't about any others but someone here will, I'm sure!

I think that the 660 fits the ctradle but will not integrate to the bike nor will it be controllable through the handlebar wheel.
Nav 5 best for that bike

How useful is the wheel thingy? Just need to be sure its all good and worth the distance.
Correct - however, Navigator IV is able to be controlled via the handlebar wheel and of course, Navigator V fits, is controlled by the wheel and also displays data from the bike's ECU.

I think itis very good but could be in a minority is it worth having ? you dont have a choice on the TE so in my book if you have it you may as well have the thing that works along with it !

I think it's brilliant because it allows you to zoom in and out exactly when you want to. I don't like the autozoom on the Nav V as I lose track of the map scale, but that's not a problem if I control the zoom myself. A 'joggle' on the wheel will also take you into the menus although for me this is a pain as it sometimes happens inadvertently. Fiddling around in the Nav V menus whist riding is not a good place to be....
Thanks for that, so is there a new Garmin 660 the only equivalent all be it without the Joggly thingy?

The 660 is the 660 and has been superceded by the 590 i think
I would go with the Nav 5 as it is made for the job

Almost never use it - just zoom in and out of the Nav 5 screen occasionally otherwise I hardly touch it.
Wheely thing?
Incredibly useful.

In what sense? never used it so just want to be sure my hard earned is being put to good use
It took me a while not to move the bloody wheel when using the indicators. I kept altering the Navi screen unintentionally. 
It hasn't been a problem since I moved to Spain. No-one uses indicators here

In the sense that I find it really useful to control many of my Nav V's functions via the wheely thing.
You have access to loads of info on the iwheel:
Tyre pressures
Temperature
Distance logs (several of them)
Gear changes and braking amounts (when vehicle static)
Countdown for fuel
And more.....
You also have functions like:
Speak last directions
Go home shortcut
Ignore waypoint
Media functions suck as fast forward songs / skip song / pause
Mute
Zoom in / out
In fairness the GSA has a bit more interactivity than the RT for example.
Is it worth the price tag - I don't know because I got mine free as a package on my last GSA twin Cam because the dealer had run out of NavIV units but I personally think it is fantastic but I would if I wasn't parting with huge lumps of cash.

This crowd do adaptors for TomTom units to fit the GS TE sat nav mount.
The 550 does not fit the mount but I had mine on my 2013 LC when I first got it. I got a mount from Italy off ebay.
I would say the Nav 5 is much better and I use my wheel quite a bit

I am sure there is a brand new one for sale on here ( it may be sold now) but it was a good price IIRC
If it is still for sale you clould cancel ypour order and save a few quid
Hope you like it, you will need to get used to Basecamp now although I still compile my routes with mapsource then convert them
