Default Mounting a satnav to my bike

won a streetpilot 3 satnav very cheaply on ebay- put in a daft bid and didn't really expect to win it! However, does anyone know how to attach one to the bike?

shona-the best way i found is fitting a handlebar stem (off a pedal bike)throught the hole in your top yoke
(take the stopper out obv ) and fabricate a mount around that ,,even btr when i sold my bike i took it off ,its yours for nothing if you want it .i tried various mounts and this was the best (for next to nothing -you can buy purpose made mounts but they do cost a fortune )rock solid ,no vibes and its very stable ,no fear of the unit falling off .you can buy the bit that u need for £5 or something and fit it .one of the members on here seen it (sv tonyb)and thought it was a hand made bike specific quality part!pm me if you want it ,its just lying in the garage not gtng used

Is it that a garmin i3? If so, this page is very useful:
