GPS Questions
I've got a Garmin Vista. It's awesome, with all of the bells and whistles. They've dropped a lot in price on ebay now that the Vista C (color) is out. The new one has color screen and better battery life.
They both have full topo capability with more memory than you'll ever use with a quad. The barametric altimiter is nice, too. It's small and light, and you should be able to find a bar mount for it, although I don't have one. I chose it for backpacking, because it was highly rated for that. I often put it in my camel back just for curiosity while riding, and I have a dash mount that helps see progress on trips.

Garmin and Magellan seem to be the most common and make plenty in a wide price range. From when I was researching people said a lot of good things about both, but some complained about losing a signal under heavy canopy with Garmins (I'm not saying this from experience, I've never used one myself). I went with the Magellan SporTrak Pro because I wanted something affordable that does maps as well for travelling. I ride through heavy woods with it wrapped in a protective case inside a fanny pack and have not had it lose signal once.
