Hey guys, I bought a Zumo 550 like 6 months ago, but sadly haven't used it since the damn mount won't work on my 900 Custom. So now I have the world's most expensive paper weight.

Now I'm not very mechanically inclined, so I had my father (who's very mechanically inclined) give it a try, but to no avail. While it technically fits on the handlebar (after much fiddling), it's too loose to be used comfortably -- even with added padding. We could tell imideatly the thing would just fall forward at the slightest vibration. Plus the mount was huge and hideous -- why does it have to be on that arm thing anyway, why not just mount it as close to the handlebars as possible?

What other options do I have? I don't want to use their mount, since it's a total POS and is too big. Is there anything else I can do?
