That sounds like what I'm trying to achieve but need a visual to see how it'll work. And did you use any extra hardware on top of the supplied kit?Not from Wilko but this is how I fitted a satnav above the clocks on a FZS600 box eye with a double bubble screen.

The satnav case, from Ebay, is a water proof one with a swivel mount on the back that comes with a handle bar mounting bracket. It takes a normal car type satnav, which is much cheaper than a water proof bike specific sat nav. I discarded the handle bar mounting and fitted a 5mm bolt through the tube in the photo and assembled the swivel mount to that.
The tube is 16mm dia x 18s.w.g. and bolted to "L" shaped brackets that pick up the mirror mounting studs. (I have the longer Mk2 mirrors fitted which I think may have slightly longer studs than the standard mirrors). The tube has aluminium plugs in each end and tapped 5mm for bolting to the "L" brackets.
