GPS Mount?

Been thinking for hours now about the best way I could mount a GPS or phone to my little nc24. There isn't enough space for a bog standard handlebar mount, and I don't know if there would be a suction cup strong enough for me to trust. Has anyone else found a solution to this?

tank mount GPS holder is your best "off shelf" solution...if you're good with fab you could probly make something thats placed through the triple clamp head bolt or somewhere near the headstock

RAM do some great brackets. Got one on my NC30 for the Tomtom. Works a treat

I stick my TomTom GO 730 with the standard suction cup mount to the front of the tank (the flat square bit on the air box cover) and never had problems. You have to lick it otherwise it doesn't stay. But my longest trip was about 100kms (alot of it very bumpy roads) and had no problems. You have to tilt your whole head down to take a look at it but you're going to have this problem no matter where you mount it on an NC.
EDIT: Not sure if there is this flat square section on the NC24 as there is on the NC35.

I mounted a Touratech TomTom mount to a Ram bracket that fitted a top yoke bolt from probolt.. That's a mouth full!!!!
I will get sum pics up later!!
Works great and is very stable but the set up wasnt that cheap, I was lucky as I used the GPS mount and Ram brackets from my Enduro Bike...

Pics.. VFR400 NC30 GPS MOUNT
Tope Yoke nut with screw on Ram Ball
Ram mount fitted to Touratech GPS Mount
All fitted up
This set up is rock solid and will not budge even at Motorway speeds 70mph

.....
Good thing about Ram mounts is once you have a Ball fitted You can use it to mount loads of things such as a video Camera or Radar detectors...
