I use a GPS while on roadtrips but dont want clutter on my bars in the way of brackets when its not in use. I installed a nut-cert in the bottom of my bar that I use on my modified GPS mount.
Heres a nut-cert and gun. It works like a pop-rivet gun with the use of compression to flare the nut-cert.

Heres my modified GPS mount. Its the original suction cup mount, minus suction cup, and a hole drilled for the thumb screw to attach it to the bars.

Bottom of the bars, with the nut-cert installed.

Mount installed.

GPS mounted. Wire is tucked in the instrument/fork cover when not in use, and wired into the acc. plug from the inside of the fairing.

When not in use.

Very slick idea and excellent execution. How's the vibration of the unit when at idle, and underway?

May sound hard to believe but I dont have any vibration. The bars are very heavy, so this may add to the stability.
