New to ST1300...bough a 2005 last week. Looking for ways to mount Garmin GPS t bike....???? Any ideas appreciated. Looked all over the place and found nothing other that a Tour Performance center plate which I thin was sold either with Helibars...maybe separate?
GPS mounts - what are my options?...new to forum :)

One option is a bracket that mounts with the clutch master cylinder handle bar bolts or to the top of the master cylinder. Check out Ram mounts.
I have my car-type Garmin on a suction-cup mount on the bottom-center of the windshield.

Welcome from Cornwall UK! Have a look at the For Sale forum at the top of the page, I believe that Motorcycle Dave sells mounts for STs.
I've used a RAM ball mount for years now on my 2005. It fits in the center of the bars and works great. You also need the RAM mount bracket to fit on the back of your particular GPS unit. I switch my GPS between both of my bikes and my car as they all have a ball mount installed.
I bought my RAM mount in 2011 and the part number was RAM-B-236. Here's a link.

If I were in your situation, and had the ability to fabricate it, I'd go for this approach. Far less expensive than any of the others to boot.
My first bike GPS was a Garmin Nuvi for cars. I bought a square based RAM ball that I bolted to the back of a plastic holder for the Nuvi. Your standard RAM connector then grabbed the GPS's ball and the ball on the dash of my ST.
Check out Touratech. Their hardware is first rate...and the prices will make you gasp. But top of the line hardware costs money.

I recently got a Garmin Zumo XT. It came with all the necessary hardware to mount on a RAM mount. It comes with a RAM mount for the handlebar, and one for the brake or clutch fluid reservoir. I bought an extra mounting kit and wiring harness to be able to use it on 2 bikes. It needs to be hard wired, so on my ST1300, I'll connect it to the Quartet Harness up front.
