iPod mount?

I am about to put in my aux intput. I seem to recall seeing a picture of an IPod mount/cradle that attached to the right side down tube. Can't recall the name of the maker, or who had it.

Can anyone shed some light on this. I think it was a fairly cheap device.

I'm a big fan of the Panavise inDash bracket. It attaches using the two screws on the right side of the head unit and is pretty rock solid (although it vibrates with heaver devices attached, like my Garmin StreetPilot 2610).



I think I got mine (and a general-purpose clamp for the iPod) from CellularMount.com.

There's also the proclip bracket, but it's just textured plastic (although it does clip to the downtube) and I think it looks really cheesy.

I had a Garmin GPS that I mounted on a radar detector mount. It consisted of two small retangular plastic plates, that are hinged on the small side. They are held open to any desired angle with metal pins. I used velcro on the back of the GPS and on the mount. It mounted below the air vent to the left of the speedo with two suction cups that fit on the dash. I have changed my GPS and one of my friends want to use this to mount his IPod.

Now I need help mounting my new GPS and need a metal mount that will mount to the left downtube and bend 90 degrees so I can attach the suction cup of my new GPS to it. Any ideas?
