[QUOTE="yamafitter, post: 1245779, member: 15141"] Like Fred said, yes, yes , no. If you want to see something vibrate try mounting a GPS on a thumper dirt bike and then go ride single track trails in the rocks of Cottage Country in Ontario. For me, both the Zumo on the FJR and the Montana on the WR450 are mounted using Touratech mounts. The mounts are not cheap but the rubber dampers do a decent job of isolating the vibration. I've run this setup on the FJR for 5 years now with no issues but I do take the time to clean the contacts on the cradle from time to time since this is a known weak point with the Zumos. OR You can do what Bust says and buy a Harley. The GPS will fall off the bike from vibration long before you kill it. You might as well try to mount a GPS to a paint shaker. [/QUOTE]
