Hey guys,
I recently made a custom navigation system mount for my FJ. I thought you guy might appreciate it...

Very nice.

I just stick mine on the tank with the window suction cup.

Thats a good idea, I just don't want to chance of "bounce-bounce-bounce" (Looses suction) and gone!  :scratch_one-s_head:

Me neither.  I have rod for up to 7 hours with the suction cup on, and have left it on over night and it has never fallen off.  I still worry about it, but not so much now.

Later......

Looks like your mount will be fine. I am using a ram cradle mounted using one of the handle bar 6mm bolts. I do know they are strong, I rode over a 8 inch expansion joint last summer at 75 mph and was happy to see my gps still there when I landed..

Uhhh, don't see much detail on the mount as the GPS is in the way.
