Is this bracket I need for mounting a Garmin GPS on the accessory crossbar?

What year is your S10? I believe the Gen 1 bikes had a thinner cross bar. Someone on here will be able to confirm that. If your bike is later than 2014 (Gen 2) and you don't have these,
Ladlesport stabiliser brackets I'd be getting some too. I mounted my GPS on the accessory crossbar and it wobbled around all over the place to the point it was hard to read. Ladlesport's brackets sorted that very easily.

2016 ES. Picking it up on Sunday. Maybe I’ll stick to mounting it on the handlebars.

When I got my bike, it had a Tom Tom GPS mounted on the handle bars and it blocked my view of the other instruments. I fitted one of these.

There are a lot of different mounts available. SW Motech have several and Ram do as well.

Unfortunately, had to put her back on battery tender. Wife, kids, mother in law everybody needs something. Don’t they realize I should be riding. The only ones more important than riding are my two grandkids. Rant over.

Wife doesn't even try to interrupt my routine anymore, although she will bitch about it later. The kids are on their own and have their own bikes. The grandchild would be the only one with the ability to interfere with a ride, but he only visits in the evenings or weekends.

I think I solved the problem with the Slippery Leather Corbin Seat: $10.00 Yoga mat.

Fancy. KLR fancy. I've heard that milk crates make good top boxes in case that's next on your farkle list.

Today I replaced the accessory power socket with something more relevant. It has a USB-a, a USB-c and a volt meter as well. View attachment 111151

Where did you get that one? Looks really useful.

Gen1 bikes don’t have a crossbar…….mines doesn’t, I presume all pre 14 bikes don’t.

So is it strong enough and safe enough to mount a GPS to it do you think?

Thanks Rob, that is what I meant. I have fitted the stabiliser brackets and they have made a huge difference to the stability of my GPS unit.
