Well I have a Quest 2 sitting in a box collecting dust since I bought my Zumo. I am thinking of giving this unit to my dad for fathers day. The only question I have is how would the Quest 2 handle heavy vibration? My dad has a Harley Ultra Classic and that thing vibrates, shakes, rattles and rolls like you wouldnt believe.

I believe a quest is the standard GPS Harley uses for the Buehl.  I would think the quest is pretty durable, the only potential weak link being the antenna.

Garmin makes a Quest 2 version for the new Toyota FJ Cruiser also.  Solid state flash memory, not hard discs to worry about, so it should do just fine.

But will he be able to read it if it is vibrating that hard?  (I'm picturing the mirrors on my KLR that I couldn't see out of when the bike was running, even with a couple pounds of lead shot stuffed into the handlebars.)

Once the bike is moving it really smoothes out, its just the standing still that it shakes. Thanks for the info!
