tomtom rider on a scooter??

[epex]

my dad gave me his old gps as he dosent use his bike anymore and already has 1 in his car, which its gr8 but theres no mounts for it as i ride a scooter which does not have bare handlebars soo it would make it quite hard to mount, the gps is a tomtom rider, i could use the car kit suction thing but itl probably come off after a while, i also dont have a screen. anyone help?

yeah, really bad idea, give it to me I WANTS IT


Um, have you got a little compartment thing, like a glove box underneath your clocks on your scooter, could you modify that, and slot it in there?

You can just buy a mounting kit which should come with quite a few attachments. One of the fixings should fit somewhere.

lol, i do have a glove box but theres literally no room in there for anything not even gloves, i might as well just stick it in my jacket or under the seat and use headphones, tomtom should have so thought about scooter riders. i have the mounting kit but the clamp thing wont clap anyware on me bike

You have mirrors don't you? There is a mount which mounts to the mirror fixing.

My Pan doesn't have bare handlebars either.

The Rider 2 comes wit a RAM mount with a variety of mounting options. I mounted mine on the brake lever/reservoir clamp.

If you look in Touring and Exploration at the TomTom Rider thread you'll see piccies of various bikes with Tomtoms.

I second the RAM mount, I managed to squeeze it onto my RS125 between the left grip and the steering yoke you can see here on the bottom right of the pic...

I have a scooter and use a RAM mount to fit it to the mirrors.

have a look at Ram mounts.

they are who make the standard tomtom rider mounting.

they have loads of alternative fixings.
but they are kind of pricey.

... Define "scooter" ...

I could totally understand a GPS on a Silverwing, but not a glorified moped with a <100cc engine.

And don't forget the one-way streets. You end up going miles out of your way just because you can't turn right...

Also, we don't believe in having road names sign posted; watching confused tourists trying to figure out where they are can provide hours of fun. Especially if they're American and trying to get to Lie-ces-ter Square.

Yeah, I think I'll be taking a GPS if I ever go over the pond. But you won't see me on a scooter.
