Default GPS location in Cafe Racer

Where have you guys mounted your GPS units? Has anyboby done a flush mount? I was wondering if I could put a flush mounted unit above the grab handle going into the cabin. Any pics and model numbers would be greatly appreciated.

I don't think I have seen a flush mounted one. You could always flush mount on the dash and move some of the gauges over the cabin entrance to make some room. This is the dash Stecz did on his old Cafe'. A little more planning and there should be plenty of room to flush mount a GPS.

Another thing I have thought about is if you could find one small enough to fit where the trim/tab indicators go and mount it there and move the indicators to top of the dash using the pop up indicators.

Stecz's boat looks familiar. Lol. Probably cause I own it now. Yes, that is a good location.

Hey 41 what about a redesigned gauge cluster with it flush mounted in the center and gauges surrounding?
