Garmin/Light mount for Giant Aerobars?
I have been using a raceware made garmin mount as it is one of the few that fits on giant's slr aero roadbar. Works fine.(Bike is a full race ready Cdael Evo hi mod, tubulars, etc. the works. I do commute on it though and train in the dark at times.) For lighting, I am using a magicshine with external battery. I am wanting to clean things up where I have the garmin mount with an adapter to hold a light underneath, like a light and motion urban 500.
Like:
I see that I can get a nicer mount here (I think):
Produkter ? Edge Mount Shop
But is there a way to then attach the L&M to this? Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Also, I would like the light to be able to be removed easily to put on the mtn bike.
*edit* I just started looking on ebay and hey, will this work? :

So I lack patience today as i went ahead and bought the ebay mount. I think it is exactly what I was looking for and relatively cheap.

I'd be surprised if Barfly doesn't have what you want.
Is the Giant SLR Aero bar the one with the integrated stem and two holes underneath? If so then look at the Barfly Spoon. I believe a go pro mount will fit on the bottom of the spoon. Give them a call. 415.877.2453.
I have the Barfly Road Max on an FSA K-Wing bar with Polar GPS and Light & Motion Urban 800.
I replaced the 3mm screw with a Phillips.

My bars and stem are not integrated. But I want a mount that goes on via the stem bolts as they look the most elegant.
My stem is Pro XCR.

The mount you purchased looks really nice.
I agree about it looking the most elegant and the one you linked to makes me want to change my Thomson two bolt stem for a four bolt stem just so I can use that mount.
Unfortunately, I don't think the ebay seller has them to fit a Polar GPS.
Please let us know how it works out for you.

Update, the ebay mount is nicely made BUT, it is too long and brings the mount up too high for my tastes so I sent it back.
may go with a Tilquist made mount.
