Hi Brads - the bar above the instruments is 12mm - you can get a Ram adaptor insert that will fit that (basically it's the same diameter as the brace bar on the handlebars)...

The power socket behind the instruments is fine for running the GPS - it's switched with the ignition, and fused on the side-light circuit (10 amps), so you might want to keep the inline fuse holder you get with the GPS cable, as most Garmins only run a 1 or 2 amp fuse...

There is no opposite connector I know of available, but if you get some mini spade connectors (male), they snuggle in there a treat, and you can put a length of shrink wrap over the whole caboodle, which is what I've done...
