Quick, effective fix for the mounting. Keep the stock mount just to have something to mount the rider to. Unplug the stock power cord to the bottom of the mount. At Radio Shack, or wherever, buy a power adapter (cigarette lighter plugin) that goes from the 12 VDC to 5 VDC (usually used for cd players etc). Provide 12 volt to the adapter. (If your bike has a cigarette lighter, just plug it in. If not, I cut off the green TomTom plug and used that wire.) Plug the 5 volt end into the bottom of the Rider by opening the door on the bottom and plug it into the small round plug. (might want to put some tape over the data card to keep it from popping out). Everything works great and no more mount problems.
Maybe not as waterproof but fairly well protected, specially behind a windshield.
