I'm tired of having to pull over and look over my hand written directions. I bought a portable navigation(Garmin Nuvi)--4" x 3" and I want to secure it somewhere visible on the Busa when I ride. I was thinking of using velcro with the adhesive back to place on the tank. And then place the opposing velcro on the back of my Navi system. Will the adhesive damage the paint should I decide to take it off? I'd prefer a stronger more flexible method of securing. Any better ideas on how I can secure my Navi to take on and off at will? If you have done something similar please post pics. Thx!! I'm semi new to the streetbike world so please excuse my naive questions...

RAM mounts makes a cradle for the Nuvi and several different mounting stems With their cradle, you can easily remove it.

Cap's setup is similar to RAM's...
You could also get a Tech mount stem stand and use velcro. Or perhaps the RAM mount cradle fastened to the tech mount.

I am a little embarrased to post this picture.... I parked the bike at work today and the sprinkers came on and got the bike good and wet then the Oklahoma wind blew some good ole fashioned red clay on there. I came home and snapped these pics and wow is my bike dirty......
Either way here are a couple for you...

Here is an article that I did on the stem stand (techmount) before they were techmount... this had to be back in early 2000 when I did this article... You can tell by the phone I was carrying then....

Ram are good mounts.
Always used them on my bikes.

I had to move mine from a stem mount to allow mounting of the GPR stabilizer.
Here are a couple of pictures and a link to some more.

I have a Garmin Nuvi 760 and I have been using the suction mount with no problems. I might be crazy, but I have put over 300 miles with it on the Busa. I mount the suction just behind the gas tank and it sticks well. Call me crazy or stupid, but I feel pretty confident that it wont fall off. if it does, I will just buy a new one.

The radar detector looks like it would hit the windshield when turning the handle bars left though???
