Hi Graham, couple of guys at work have them on their hondas,
they have removed the honda badge on the top yoke,
drilled and tapped a hole there and mounted a bracket off of this,
as the standard bracket that fits into the top stem nut seems to sit the sat nav up to high.

I have a tomtom one fitted on my storm. i drilled a 8mm hole in the bottom half of the screen to fit a bolt that the tomtom bracket can clamp onto. i also wired a lighter socket under the seat to be able to charge when needed, I use it most of the time and have had no problems so far.
