I am looking at buying a Garmin Montana 650 or a rhino and was wondering how you guys had your GPS mounted on your sleds. Any pics would be appreciated.
Thanks in Advance.

On my 2010 M-8 I don`t have the Garmin Rhino mounted all the time in case of rollover and it might get in the way of the grab bar a little bit. But Ram Mounts makes a bolt with a ball on the end that takes the place of one of my handlebar mounting bolts. When I am heading back to the truck I slide the adapter on the ball on the handlebar and the Rhino also has the snap on case with a ball on the back and the adapter slides over each ball and tightens allowing for some up and down adjusting. Sorry no pics, but check out Ram Mounts, nice products.

I'm about to puck up a Rino 650. Would loveto see pictures.
Do you run a 12 volt ac cigarette charger on your sled ?

i dont have a pic of my 655t mounted, but this is a pic of my 530hcx. i used the ram mount,with the short arm, never had a problem and i rolled it many times down the hill, with the 655t i used the ram mount, but did not mount the ball to the back of the cradle, i just mounted the cradle directly to the dash in the same spotgarmin mount.jpg

ram mount

I just got the ram mount with the short arm and the handlebar clamp for my 60csx on the pro. It turned out super trick and is awesome for viewing when standing up. Easily adjusted or removed totally from the machine....awesome setup!

I mounted the cradle for my Rhino 530HCX directly to the hood deck in front of, and to the left of the MFD. I opted against the ball mount.

I had to remove the air intake from the underside of the hood and even though the bracket is secured with NyLoc nuts I don't want to risk sucking a screw into the engine so I over-taped the heads with aluminum heat-tape (which sticks like crazy in all temps)

Here's a couple of crappy cell phone pics.

I can't find an AC charger for the Rhino 600 series.

Anyone?

I use the ram mounts for my 530 also. Did have the base break once in a roll over and a branch tore the rino out of the mount once. Luckily I found it both times. Now I have a Wii write strap wrapped around the gps to the bars. I use the same to keep helmet cam on helmet also.
