Do you have any problems with sand getting on the GPS? I would love to put my GPS where I could see it while I'm riding, but I dont' know if it will hold up the the dust, etc...

when your on a bike like that, your in front and the sand is not an issue!!!!

Unless of course you CRASH!! [Big Grin]

Looks good. I want to see how you did it next week! yes?

I used the Marine mount.and used self tappers right on the steering stem.It should be sturdy enough? If Not? I will make it sturdier! [Big Grin] Its braced to the Aluminum light mount I fabbed up. The unit is a Garmin GPSMAP76 Its Waterproof so the sand wouldnt even be a problem.Also? I put a couple of layers of heavy clear packing tape on the display to protect it from scratches
Yeah Im Hoping [Roll Eyes] [Beer] to make it out next weekend [11th] [Roll] [Burnout]

pretty much all gps are water resistant, sand isnt an issue really, impacts from crashing are more of a concern for me really

I like the Ram Mounts .
They are easy to put in the bars and the swivel is nice.

With the price of GPS's ($80) and mounts ($15) now adays, I would probably worry about other parts on the quad in a crash. Another year or so I figure they will come standard built in on some of the quads.

We just used the handle bar mount for the Etrex

then goto "mods" and "gps"
