Mounting Tube Dia. on Genuine Honda Touring Windscreen?

[Thomasec]

I have ordered the genuine Honda touring windscreen, but have not received it as yet. It comes with a tube bracket that surrounds the instrument cluster (for extra protection?) and to look great. I am planning to mount my GPS unit to that tube at the point it passes over the instruments (as I have seen someone do on another forum I don't belong to.) Does anyone who owns one know if the tube diameter is the same as the handlebars (7/8") or is something else? I need to order clamps and want to know the correct size ahead of receipt of my screen. Thanks!

Here is my picture. Not sure about the diameter. It is quite thin. gps mount - My Photo Gallery It is thinner than the handbar tube, for sure.

Actually I do not think it is a good place to mount the GPS, because it will block your main instruments. Just my 2 cents.

Thanks, Happy. It looks smaller dia (could you measure for me?) but not sure. The GPS will fit there, just higher above the instrument panel, should be easier to view as it will be closer to the line of sight, yet still behind the windscreen.

ai... the depths that I would dive to do things for you....

I have no measuring calipers so I use a straight ruler.
it is at least 19mm and around 20mm diameter.

not sure what's that in inches...

Thanks, Happy Joe. That would be 3/4 inches English units. I know what to do now.

You are most welcome Thomas. We help one another out. Post the pics when you mount the GPS, and show the mounting too. Ride safe!
