How to Adapt / Mount A Car GPS to a Motorcycle

20. May, 2011 25 Comments

Here’s how I used my existing Garmin car GPS for a quick, cheap, temporary, & occasional solution. You’ll lose a mirror, can’t hear audible commands, and it requires running off batteries, so it’s not for eveyrone. A motorcycle GPS would be ideal.

    Its ok I guess, I just put my tomtom into the map pocket of my tank bag though, can see it perfectly and plug it into a DIY cigarette lighter I made wired to the battery

    @MsTimberland
    KLR riders (among other dual-sport riders) often do.

    Really bad idea. Why not just stick it in a tank bag or something? Really bad idea.

    dude your a genius

    I have made a few homemade mounts but never really though to using the mirrors. Good idea.

    water proof?

    Very imaginative. I was thinking of mounting one in my right mirror and putting a camera on the back of the bike with a display in my left mirror. Your way with the Velcro would be easier and less permanent. That way if I parked somewhere shady I could pull it all off.

    @MsTimberland I used it when I put my bike on a barge and shipped it to another island I wasn’t familiar with.

    Hey, very useful velcro is a great invention.

    because you are supposed to turn your head and look over your shoulder.
    and that goes for cars too. many people never check their blind spot. just glance at the mirror and start moving over. and those are the people that cause accidents to everytone around them, especially motorcyclists.

    Sooo if i was going to take a 4 hour trip, is there a way to plug it in while it is mounted?

  22. MsTimberland Reply 20. May, 2011 at 10:49 pm

    ok first of all who rides their bike far enough to need a gps?

    @1RiskyRich — It may cost an arm and a leg (literally) since you have obstructed your view. Safety is a cheap and effective insurance policy.~ Peace

    jajajajajajajajajaja…..a la mexicana!!!

    @lipevolcom2 – An arm and a leg means different amounts depending on your financial status. $25 could be an arm and a leg for someone who has nothing. Normally I would say an arm and a leg is usually more money than its worth.
