Home made aluminum bracket
Made from a strip of aluminum bought from ACE Hardware. The plastic mount that came with the Garmin C550 is just junk and I made this bracket to secure it on a motorcycle.

This is how it went together. Between the GPS and the aluminum bracket is the Garmin plastic cradle ball.
