Re: Garmin V
Thanks for all your useless help Deez I picked it up for $240 tonight.

I figured it would come in handy for my daily commute and all my creative ways to avoid traffic as well as on the bike in a few months so I spent my christmas $$

I've got a Garmin iQue 3600. Love it. Mine worked out to about $650 after upgrades. Not sure if the Garmin V is the same thing though. Good luck.

Re: Garmin V
I have a V. I bought it for $500 a couple years ago when they first came out. Loved it ever since, and it has saved my ass a couple of times. I have mine mounted on the 929. I guess I will have to take some pictures of the custom homemade mount. Maybe this weekend. I used the tank bolts and the garmin base so I can just slide it on and off. Works great, but if you plan on riding with it, get the little battery adapter/shim for bikes. The batteries vibrating can lose connection and the unit shuts off. A real pain in the ass if it's dark, you are lost, and the next turn was just a couple hundred feet...

Forget the battery shim, buy the hardwire kit. The thing goes through batteries like Chain & Grape Nuts, especially if the backlight is on.
