| Anyone know where I can get a ball mounting kit for a Garmin i3. I
want to mount the i3 on my motorcycle. I've tried using the suction
cup mount on the small fly screen, but I'm nervous of it falling off.
There are a couple of brackets already on the handlebars with a 6mm
hole through them that would be ideal to fix something like this to,
however its finding an appropriate kit. The ball is 17mm diameter I
think, which is not a standard RAM Mount size, so that option is not
viable. So an alternative is required. If anyone has any ideas, I'd
appreciate hearing them.
Cheers

Not exactly sure what you're looking for, but could you make something like
this work? http://tinyurl.com/2rmceh

That's pretty much what I have already, albeit the original one that
came with the i3. What I would ideally like is a 17mm ball with a
tapped hole in it.
