I have a few problems reading my gps when running gravel roads on the GS due to vibrations.It is the standard mount that came with the Garmin 310, The base fixes to the factory brace behind the tach/speedo and comes out on a rod of aluminium to a plate then from the plate there is the sucker and swivel setup then clips on to the unit, How do Ram system fair on gravel roads

I don't think you can completely avoid the vibrations, and having a small screen is probably not much help either. I took this set up trough a couple of hundred km on gravel roads and through the 42nd traverse. It has held up well. $25 from trademe. Generally you should only have to check the GPS only when you come to an intersection, for those I tend to slow down anyway.

It was more the unit tilting than reading it that is the problem but I will check out TE Thanks

Mine is only an el cheapo version. If you have a close look you can see that it wasn't designed to go onto a thin rail like that. To make up the difference I wrapped a bit of rubber around it secured by duct tape. This has successfully stopped it from slipping and it also provides a degree of insulation from vibration. A zip-tie was added for piece of mind :-). Initially it was intended as a temporary solution. But since it's survived that last ride with flying colours I will keep it on for a while longer.

Careless Driving - $3000 maximum fine and Court may Disqualify from Driving.Have noticed a lot of South Aucklanders driving from Thames to Coromandel watching the GPS unit of the attached to the windscreen and not the road. Can't wait for one to leave the road and park in the sea. One less idiot on the road.

Sorry Mr Cop the bike felt like it was only travelling at 100kph as Mr Cop gives you a ticket and says have a good day 🙄 Why do you think I have a radar detector; I can keep my eyes on the road ahead.  😛
