Mounting cradle for TomTom One

Hi All

I have a TomTom One which I want to mount on a handlebar cradle on my Ultra. Where could I purchase such a cradle from in the UK please. There is a U.S. site here:
Motorcycle mounts, engine guard covers, motorcycle drink holder, desert dawgs:

If I could get the same here that would be ideal.
Your assistance appreciated.
Cheers
FBB

Initial impressions are good. I went for the short-arm mount:


and this cradle:



Mounted on left side of my bars, the U-Bolt has a small plastic insert which clamps the underneath of the bars. The mount is fully adjustable to any angle, and I have the unit positioned just where I can see it at a glance, but it doesnt interfere with my view of the road. Once mounted, there is very little vibration of the whole unit. Any adjustments to the angle can be made quickly & easily via the large plastic T-Nut on the side of the mount. Easily done even with gloved hands. All in all very impressed with this piece of kit. I would recommend without hesitation.

Cheers
FBB

Re: Mounting cradle for TomTom One

I've had the RAM mount like that on my trail bike for 1700 miles off road; it's been dropped into rivers, down rocky slopes and been buried in Yorkshires Dales swamps and has never once broken off or even spilled my Garmin GPS. Good piece of kit!

Thanks for the pictures Grahame. It certainly looks good. If they can withstand the off road use/abuse that Magnus has been throwing at them, then me sold on them.
