Maybe hooking it up to the headlight socket with a kill switch might be better so when your not using it it can be shut off rather than having it on at night and you have no use for it and save your battery!I just received my Garmin 220 GPS from Amazon. I don't have the bike yet so I'm guessing.
It looks like the easiest way to mount the GPS is using the included mount on the left clip (handlebar) near the clutch cable bracket. It looks like there is space there for the u-bolt used on the mount. I may have to come up with something else when I get the bike in a few weeks. I'd planned on getting power from the headlight socket on the back of the headlight. It's on when the bike is on and goes off with the key. It's probably easy to get to as you need easy access to change the headlight bulb. I'll just have to see when i get the bike.
Let me know what you decide as I need ideas, also.

could you explain (better with photo) where do you take 12 V exactly? I took out headlight socket, opened it but did not figure out how exactly connect to it, least invasive way. Wires going to the socket are really short.Maybe hooking it up to the headlight socket with a kill switch might be better so when your not using it it can be shut off rather than having it on at night and you have no use for it and save your battery!
How to remove it without scratching? Will it be possible to put it back after?Remove the dust cover cap from the center of the steering stem
Can you provide a link to the one you purchased?You're welcome. I just found an adapter on ebay for $9.72 and went with that one. I should have it about the time my bike gets here, I hope!![]()
Slide a sharp knife into where the black plastic and chrome nut meet - it will go in about 1/8". Gently pry the plastic up. It will go back into the hole with no problem if you want.How to remove it without scratching? Will it be possible to put it back after?
