I installed my Axim On mY Kawasaki Concour with the CF GPS installed. I used RAM systems for the bulk of the mount, but used an aluminum case for the Axim (like a rino case) with the flip door removed. I attached this to the mounting arms from RAM systems. they have universal PDA mount but I found them bulky and ugly. the Aluminum case is a much slicker install. I can send you some pics if you give ma an email address. I have yet to figure out how to post pictures on here.

Take a look at the Otterbox Armor 3600 with its mounting options. There is a specific mount for handlebars, and the electronics will be protected in a waterproof housing.

Here's how to get a CF GPS to fit in the case:

Wow, that's a bit pricey. About $150 for a mount. I know it protects well, but I am not looking to spend anywhere near that amount.

Looks great though...

I have a windshield mounted Akron and it works great. I paid $30 for it and have used it in four different vehicles with no problems.

I strongly recommend it.

I already have a window mount for my car. I was asking for a motorcycle mount.

Ah, that would explain the picture of the motorcycle mount.

Sorry about that, case of reading what I thought the first post said vs. what it actually said.

Try www.gpscity.com they carry the RAM line, you can buy pieces and configure it the way you want. The first setup I bought was like 50 bucks, when I got my axim the cradle didn't fit and I was able to buy only the new cradle for another 20 and reuse the arm and the suction cup mount; the parts are all interchangeable. Very good quality stuff, I'm sure I've seen motorcyle or handlebar mounts among the options available.
