SatNav Bike Mount - Help to find one

Post by 600+ »

I'm after a mount for my Tomtom Go 530

The only place I've found selling any is BuyBits. Any other suggestions folks?

Option to change gps is not available as I just bought Euro maps for it.

Have you tried touratech or if you have a tankbag with a clear map pouch then you can put it in there .

im not up to date on the hundreds of tomtoms that are out these days. is that a bike specific model? (it sounds not as it wouldve come with a bike mount, of course, dummy)

so if its a car type chances are its not weatherproof, which leaves you with a few choices-

otterbox or equivelent on a RAM mount

car cradle on a RAM mount with a condom as a cover (yes, seriously)(i suggest an unlubricated one, or live with the mess)

tankbag with clear pocket in the top, or GPS specific bag, givi and some others do them.

personally i prefer the gps mounted high over the dials so its the first two options for me, tankbags are too low, you take your eyes off the road too long to look at them. purely my opinion/experience.

This is the mount that Craig linked to mounted on my Strom.

Loads of adjustment and waterproof, importantly, cheap too.

Is that arm long enough so that you can see it over the tank bag?

Here's one that incorporates the waterproof case and the ram mount.
