Mounts
There will be those that say I'm talking out of my arse, but...
The TT mount, although it uses rubber bobbins in the bracket, gives the GPS (276c), a damn good shaking.
TT say they "ruggedise" the GPS and its OK but who wants to pay TT prices for a GPS.
Make, or buy, a mount that is solid to the bars, or whatever you bolt it to. There will be virtually NO shake of the GPS
Rig up a power feed from the bike. Remove the battery from the GPS, put a piece of insulation tape over the battery terminals in the body of the GPS.
The GPS now weighs next to nothing!
Re-insert the battery if you want or keep it separate for use off bike.
Most of the damage that happens to your GPS on a bike is the battery connection pins vibrate loose.
What can harm your unit is a big G-force shock like the forks bottoming out. The may cause damage weather you have a TT rubber mount or not
