User Ratings and Reviews
4 Stars Pretty nice set up
The unit overall works pretty well. Holds firm and looks nice. I didn’t really like the lower mounting hardware (U bolts, nuts), it seemed to be a little less than the rest of the unit, thats why I took one star, but it works OK. I would buy again for sure. Lots of positions are a plus. The biggest drawback is that the GPS made for this unit has a screen that is too small to see much when on a moving motorcycle, but of course this is not a problem with this mount.
4 Stars Works Well
Purchased this product due to the fact that I didn’t know what I really needed. The only reason I didn’t give this product a 5 star was due to the u-bolt that mounts it to the handle bars wasn’t coated with anything, so the handle bars will probable have a scratch when I take it off. The product works great for my Garmin Etrex Legend. I used it for several long rides and it was nice to be able to adjust it to any angle. This is a nice item that works well.
5 Stars Simple, Strong, and Durable.
I mounted my Garmin etrex Venture HC to the handlebar of my Yamaha XT225 dualsport motorcycle using this RAM mount.
Installation was straightforward, and the ball mount let’s me adjust to many different positions. This was really helpful, as free space is scarce on the handlebar, limiting my options for where to attach it.
This mount holds my GPS unit firmly, allowing no noticeable vibration. I even dropped my bike at 25mph when I hit a patch of ice on a dirt road, and the GPS stayed perfectly still, out of harm’s way. I am impressed.
I also like how easy it is to remove my GPS unit from the mount. When I park the bike in public, I do not want to leave the GPS out in the open for someone to snag, and removing it from this mount is as easy as pulling open the two tabs at the top.
Great product!
5 Stars Just what I needed
I’ve used two other handlebar mounts to secure Garmin GPS devices to my dirt bike’s bars. This is the first one that’s actually impressed me.
The RAM mount holds the GPS right where you want it with very little vibration.
You can quickly adjust the bracket’s arm to position the GPS wherever you want it (almost).
The mount itself (the part that actually holds the GPS) is firm enough to securely hold the GPS with no worries that it might fall out, but it’s also really simple to insert and remove the GPS. The top fingers of the mount spread apart with a little pressure and the GPS just slides out (no tools or adjustments required).
My only complaint is that the bracket’s arm swivels to any position you want, but once you have it positioned, you can’t necessarily rotate the GPS in every direction (tilt up/down, tilt side to side, and rotate clockwise/counterclockwise), so you sometimes have to compromise between the angle of the GPS and the position of the arm. The workable positions aren’t infinite, but there are enough good positions that it’s not hard to find one that’s OK.
I’m not an engineer, so I don’t know how they could improve that without sacrificing the security of the bracket arm’s connection and the ease of adjustment.
So it’s actually 4.75 stars, but I’ll give it a 5.
