    Just saw a TomTom Rider 2 for an incredible price, but I haven't heard much about it. Anybody have one? Anybody hate one?

    I can't be of much help, however, I just bought a NUVI 775T for $200 bucks off of Amazon and she doesn't all that I will ever need her to for a lot less than the zumo (which I like, just cannot afford). Just bought some ram mount shizzle off of GPSCITY.com and I can switch her from my VFR to my red tractor in a flash!

    It's $125, but it doesn't come with the Bluetooth or the Dock. Figured mounting wouldn't be to hard, but does the dock make for waterproof charging? If I just use a line in is that just playing with fire....er....water?

    Can you tell me what parts you ordered to mount and are you mounting to the two fuel tank bolts? Thanks!

    You want the cradle and the power cable that you can connect to your bike (I attached mine to the tail light).

    I used a Ram mount into my center stack and use Cardo Scala 2 headset.

    Is the tailight easier than using an switched fuse panel for accessory power?

    I thought so - it was easy and that way it is going through the fuse box properly.

    I didn't want to connect directly to the fuse box.

    Maybe the 6th gens are easier - but it was easy to connect to the tail light.
