I ordered the RAM Motorcycle Handlebar Clamp Base with M8 Bolts like Red and Black's setup today for mounting my GPS. I was just wondering if anyone runs two ball mounts and if so, how? I have the two ball mount on the left side for my FJR and Goldwing and have been really happy with that setup. I keep telling myself this isn't my touring bike, so I can decide each time whether I need the GPS or phone, but I'm still curious if there's an easy solution for the MT10, too.

Why not just use Google Maps on your phone? That's what I do. Just mount the phone, fire up Android Auto and connect it to my Cardo comms.

That's likely. I will probably use the phone for routing on the MT10, since I won't be doing long trips so much on this bike.
However, I am a big trip planner with Basecamp and load lots of routes into my Zumo and I've grown used to that process for my other bikes. I recently went on a trip with my nephew and he used his phone to route. Every time we made a small adjustment to the route he had a horrible time getting back on track. We either waited 10 minutes for him to fix it or he just followed me.
You should see my Goldwing setup. I use the Zumo for my planned route, the NAV on the bike for area info like how long until we cross a state line or what the nearby body of water is, and Google Maps on my iphone for calculating alternatives.
