Hmmm...my GPS is also got a car kit to stick it to the windscreen.....but I didn't think the curve of the Trophy screen would allow it to hold???

Maybe I just wasted money???
NAH.......its still a handy peace of kit ! especialy in wet weather .
AJ, I don't know. I have not had good luck getting any suction cup devices to stick to my Summer Screen. I have to stick my toll transponder in my jacket pocket; it will not stick. I darn sure wouldn't trust my GPS to hold.

BTW.....
I mounted a 12V DC output receptacle right on the gray flat area below the cubby box opening on the left side of my fairing to plug in things like the GPS and chargers for mobile phones, etc.
Just drilled a 1 inch hole slowly with a hole saw and ran the wiring to my fuse block. It's got one of those weatherproof rubber plugs for when I'm not using it.
Works great!

ye i put mine on last weekend in the same place you put yours !
and carl honestly you cant move it once it on ,infact its hard to get off !
Maybe the suctions cups on my transponder are too small. But it does hold to my truck windshield very firmly.

Come to think of it, my GPS falls off my car windscreen, so maybe that isn't too good of an idea.
It it falls off of your car's windshield, I surely would not trust it on your bike's windscreen.

Yeah...not often, but it does sometimes.
And it's much flatter than the Trophy screen.
Of course, I'm running a lower than stock Trophy screen so it's got more curve in it too.

I think the tank bag is the most secure; I don't think you wasted your money.
I always worry about these tank bags damaging the paint work on the tank
With a good wax job on the tank, I have never had any paint damage.

I would worry about it if I don't clean the tank first and mount it over dirt.
It has a non-marring material underneath it to prevent any damage but if you put it over a dirty tank (which mine presently is) then the dirt acts like sand paper.

My dad has a mount like that. I will have to try it on my windscreen.
It does hold on my windscreen; but I can pull it off without using the lever. I guess my screen is too curved; I don't trust it.
