Motorcycle GPS units have become synonymous with adventure riding. As technology and displays continue to advance it has become an obvious addition to many riders essential gear list.

Placement is key for the ease of use of a GPS. It’s imperative it be positioned so you barely divert your eyes from the road to see the screen. The SW-Motech Quick Lock Vibration Damped GPS Mount is centered right on top of the bike’s display and won’t obstruct the view.

Attached using the same mounting holes as the windscreen, the mount is tidy and compact. This position also takes advantage of the most weather protected real estate available on a bike. The damping feature does cut back vibrations on the road but don't expect any miracles while riding off the beaten path.

The SW-Motech Quick Lock Vibration Damped GPS Mount is a huge improvement over handlebar mounted setups and will certainly make your rides into unfamiliar territory less stressful. MSRP: $89.99 TwistedThrottle.com
