Robert,
My Clearview +9" (9 inches taller than stock) fits perfectly! Who
is the manufacturer of yours?

taller windshield does not match factory windshield

I got in touch with the guy I bought it from throuugh ebay and he says it is
a Kawasaki and it fit fine on his 2000. My stock windshield is thick at the
bottom and is beveled to fit holes on the cowl. I messed around with it
some, but the mounting still seemed off. Anyone want a windshield? Mick

gps selection and mount

I have a Magellan 330, I and am very pleased with the detained maps
that can be downloaded. I mounted it to the bolts that clamp the
front fork for 2 reasons. I wanted it at the same level as the
speedometer, and I wanted it not to vibrate. By mounting it to the
fork brace there is no vibration separate from the cycle itself. The
bracket was made from galvanized hardware from Home Depot. If you
are interested, I will send you a photo of the bracket.
Someone commented about inconsistent current and their GPS shutting
down. I found that at certain speeds mine did that. It was due to
vibration of the motorcycle. The mount has a plastic clip but it was
not strong enough. I put a rubber band around the GPS and solved the
problem.
In wiring it to the cycles, the 2 free wires on the right side are
not the best choice. They are switch activated. This means every
time you turn the switch off the GPS shuts down and has to be turned
on again and then it go looking for satellites again.
