Greg:: Aint that a hideous thing the call a mount! When I originally built the rams horn mounting for my GPS 90. I completely dissected the mount that came with the unit and reconstructed a hinged affair out of the parts left over. It was about three pounds lighter and it mounted pretty flush into the control wheel. Glad you like it.
