tomtom rider question

i got a tomtom rider for crimbo and i am having great difficulty finding somewhere to put it.
i have tried putting on the front brake leaver thingy but im having no luck because its a different size.

where have people mounted theirs, if at all cos im getting close to throwing it at the bike and hoping it stays lodged in a convenient position.


thanks guys

I have held off buying one for specifically this reason, so I'd love to know if you find a good solution. Someone else on here mentioned that they'd bought one and had the same problem - think they just used the sticky pad mount (which I don't want to do - just doesn't sound good) in the end.

Someone on here (SVeedyGonzales?) seems to make mounts in his spare time - if you're near him you could always see him and see what he could come up with.

i have mounted it on the square pivot undeneeth the yoke and used 4 of my own screws to attach one piece to another it moves around a little but nothing to worry about and also it hides the clocks slightly but thats the best place i could find without getting the hack saw out. i will try to get some pics on in the future.

these have special mounts...may be worth a look

Yeah, I've knocked up a few mounts for faired and unfaired bikes for other sat nav units. If you can't find something that you're happy with from Ram-mount or making one up yourself then PM me.

Mine are all stainless steel though, not that cheap plastic and chrome plated stuff

There seams to be a few people having this problem has anyone thought about e-mailing tomtom customer support.

I'll find somewhere to put it on my machine if you're throwing it away

I have had mine for a few weeks now and was mounted on the front brake lever, no sweat. May be you are not using the correct attachments? Mine is a K4 pointy (the bike not the Tomtom)
