Good luck with it! Despite others' comments about the KX3's ruggedness, it's pretty robust. I've had mine off road a dozen times, mostly in a jeep mounted to the dash 1" RAM ball. Seems like all jeeps have those. Had it out twice on a mountain bike, but there are too many situations where vehicle control (lack of it) is a big issue. I don't do that any more.
Be careful about cooling your KX3 with all five sides enclosed like it's shown at the NP web site. The KX3 likes a lot of exposure to ambient air to stay in its happy temp range. The KX3 will protect itself from over-temperature, but you might not like the results all that much. You might want to call NP's sales/marketing guys in Seattle. I used to work with them all the time on GPS mounts and related accessories. They may have some ideas for you to try. They're really innovative folks there. 73, matt W6NIA On Sun, 4 May 2014 13:37:24 -0700 (PDT), you wrote: >Thanks for your reply, Matt. > >I have looked at all those resources, they are very good. > >My plan for an off-the-shelf solution would be: > >http://www.rammount.com/Products/AQUABOX/LargeAQUABOX/tabid/4887/Default.aspx > >and then mount on the handlebar in the center.
