Do you have a link to the GPS tracker?

It depends on what voltage it takes ... Normally i'd expect it to be directly wired to the battery.

You only really need to wire the positive to the GPS (aslong as its V range is 10 - 16v ish) then connect the negative to the bike frame etc

if you want a stealth install, dont run the wires from the battery - these would be the first wires cut by any bike theif.

Take the power from somewhere less obvious (underside of fuse box for example) so that its not so obviouse the bike has a tracker fitted.

Though I didn't get round to fitting GPS on my bike, I made a 12V car socket attachment with a switch and fuse and about 1 metre of wire. I connected it straight to the battery and kept it switched off under the seat. You can then charge it like you do in a car and easily unplug it when you need to.

You can get car GPS waterproof mounting kits to fit on bike handlebars on ebay for a reasonable amount.

what sort of gps are we on about here? a tracker or a navigational tool? if the latter: I would agree with the above. handle bar mounting and get a 12v charger off ebay with a fuse built in that looks like a cigarette lighter and wire it straight to the battery. however I would go for a motorcycle specific navigator because they are designed to reduce glare, to be used with gloves etc.
