Windscreen Mount Stabilization HELP

[coastie]

Hey everybody, I'm looking for ideas regarding my windscreen mount with attached GPS. I could pretty easily move the GPS to the handlebars on a ram mount, but I cant stand stuff on the handlebars, the ram mount for the phone is already to much. So the problem is with the gps mounted it bounces around like crazy. It absolutely drives me crazy and I believe it bounces hard enough that its eventually going to break something. It will also bounce around when I hit highway speeds of around 75. I was told there is a thread here of somebody who stabilized the madstad bracket using the crossbar mounts, but I could not find it with a search. Suggestions please, and a link to the thread that already talks about this would be awesome. Thanks.

coastie: these struts are on Touratech adj bracket. Started w/ 3/8" dia. x 12" brass tube stock. Cut, flatten ends, drill mount holes to suit. Attached to bike at back most hole for wind wings. Used #10x1-1/4" bolts w/ extension collars on inside. This stabilized the GPS (& the whole windshield assembly) 99%. There is sometimes a little side-to-side, but only on the worst bumps - where you need to be watching the road anyway.
