Don't know if I'd recommend using the C330 on a motorcycle. I think it has an internal hard disk which can cause problems due to vibrations from the bike. If you're interested in getting a Garmin suitable for a motorcycle, check their website for recommendation. You might want to also look into a refurb Streetpilot 2610 or 2720.

It's not the destination, but the journey, that counts. A sport-tourer's ride between two points is seldom a straight line. He will often seek the most convoluted route possible.

I like Cycle Gadgets.  Very nice, helpful people.  And they all ride as well.

A buddy of mine has a C330 and 20K miles later on a motorcycle its still working fine, I know its not waterproof and not one of the best on the market but it was less than $300 so I got it to make sure I would use one enough before I go and get the Zumo I really want.

eBay has some really good prices on the items you mentioned. I've bought a few things for my 2730 on eBay.

While the Garmin site doesn't mention the use of an HDD or flash memory for the C330, PCMag.com's review, among others, cites the presence of a hard drive in the C330.  If that can be confirmed, the C330 is really not a bike-ready unit.  Unless Garmin has come up with bleeding edge anti-shock mounts for the drive, the question isn't if the drive will fail but when.
