this will require a bit of drilling but have a look at  otterbox.com and ram-mount-uk.com. you should be able to fit the tomtom in the otterbox and if you drill a hole in the box you can run power and audio out. the ram mount will attach the otter box to you bike.

i will let you all know if i hear anything. the tom tom worked pretty well for me in a tank bag,couldnt hear it at motorway speeds but slowing down for junctions with volume on full it was good enough to stop me getting lost,see if you can borrow a tank bag moonstone just to try it, if you are not doing speeds where road noise drowns it out and if you can get some power sorted the tom tom works quite well,even if you have to pull over now and then to have a look its better than nothing.The bike ones are very expensive by comparison but much better, prob only need one of those if you are doing lots of long trips on unfamiliar routes

Agree with Pagan.  Ram mount is pretty good kit and they do a huge array of different sat nav mounts and mounting bits and pieces.   Good quality too.  Mine hasn't moved/corroded/loosened in over 30,000 miles.

  *Takes a bow* LOL   Julie, nope, it's pretty quick   I used the search facility. In between 'Active Topics' and 'New Topic' the button that says 'Search' (no for once I'm NOT being sarcastic) give it a try. Type in 'sat nav' and it will give you all the threads that have it in. I then just looked for biffo bear's name.   If Biffo hadn't STARTED the thread then yea it probably would have been difficult to find the post.   (I'm a sad git with too much time on me hands, I've also got a headache I've had for 2 days and nowt is shifting it so I'm distracting meself)
