I've been asked by a couple of people to come up with some mounting and weatherproofing options for this unit.

I made a quick couple of prototype brackets last night, along with a little plastic weather shield. If there was enough interest, I could see about getting these made out of ABS so that the back of the unit was completely enclosed.

Questions:

• Is this even worth the trouble, or is the velcro mounting option fine?
  If you chose to mount it on one of the handlebar locations, would you prefer a snap-on "weather & prying eyes" cover, or a pivoting model that would flip open for use?

Don't worry about hurting my feelings on this "design", or its' implementation, as "I've got no dog in this fight" (And remember, this was a 30-minute fabrication at most...)

There are pictures available at this web page (so higher-resolution versions would be available).

Thanks for your input.

I mounted the wifes Commander with Ram products I had in the garage. She does not use a gps or radar detector on her Wing so I didn't have to coordinate all the goodies to suit her taste. I had looked at the Delphi so she would be able to use it on her Valkyrie and in her truck also. If you could come up with a waterproofing idea for the Commander that would be nice. I had all three arm lengths handy from Ram. I wired everything using the longest arm. That is the one she liked the best. So far she loves it. She has not rode in the rain since I have installed the XM. We will cross that bridge when we get there I guess. I keep small plastic bags on my bike for the GPS and radar detector. Probably do the same for hers until I see a better idea.

The place of mounting and look would dictate choice. Probably the pivot cover, so not to loose track of it.
