PLEASE Help my buddy get where he is (supposed to be) going
Has anyone figured out how to successfully mount a GPS on their buddy 125? ALl the motorcycle GPS mounts that i can find are small u bolts for the 1/2" - 3/4" handlebars. I already have a crack near the light (darn gravel) so I don't want to try to drill any holes up there if I can avoid it.

If you have a windshield, this set up works well. I bought a cradle for my Garmin, and a cradle to insert a camera, phone, or even a plexiglass holder for directions in to.
I started out with the short middle piece (piece # 2 in the numbered picture) and quickly found out that it works better for me to have things mounted higher, so I don't have to shift my gaze too far from the road.
So for either set up, you need items 2 & 3. You just choose which "cradle" you want to mount on top.
I went for the generic, non-locking and non-quick release, as they are already easy to remove with the side knob.
I love them!

I just use my phone, loaded Nokia Drive on it, and strap it to my forearm with one of those jogger phone cases. With the leather motocross gloves I use for riding gloves, they work on the touchscreen just fine. Problem solved!
That and I: a) don't ever have a need for GPS that much to warrant a hard mount, and b) have no hard mount place on the Agility that wouldn't take alot of effort, look hideous and would effectively

I'm probably getting a RAM X-Grip for my (future) iPhone 5 and also for use with cameras and some other devices. I resisted, but I really need something better than my "analog GPS" (directions taped to windshield or top of scooter) for our group rides.

I don't usually write video reviews, but a lot of people were asking me about it and the part numbers. If you click on the "show more" tab in the video description, I've posted links to all the part numbers.
