2 Stars Not for me…
The cradle cracked in half when I installed it for the first time. The rest of the kit seemed like it was very durable, so I may go with the universal RAM mount with the Garmin cradle, but this kit was not the one stop shop I had hoped it would be.

3 Stars Not as good as the Garmin cradle
I accidently got both this mounting system and the Garmin cradle (p/n 10-10495-00) made for the Garmin 2720, not realizing that I would get two different cradles. This gave me an opportunity to try both cradles on my BMW motorcycle. I like the Garmin cradle a lot better for four reasons: (1) Thanks to the Garmin cradle’s security screw, the GPS cannot be removed by the casual walk-by thief; (2) The RAM cradle is quite noticeable, but the Garmin cradle is out of the way; (3) The RAM mount clips around the GPS and will mar the finish over time, but the Garmin cradle attaches to the back to the manufacturer’s mounting points; (4) the Garmin dust cover fits on the GPS while mounted on the Garmin cradle, but the RAM cradle prevents it. To mount the Garmin cradle on a motorcycle handlebar, I recommend the RAM mount that attaches to the Garmin cradle available from GPS City (SKU RAMB149-347).

5 Stars RAM Mounting Systems Handlebar Mount for Garmin Streetpilot 2820
This mount is affordable, and excellent. It is adjustable on the fly to many angles and the unit is quickly removed from the bracket, which holds it solidly while riding. It is strong enough for me to hang my helmet on the unit if I want to run into a store quickly (thus also hiding the GPS from view pretty well). The one drawback to this mount is that the bar mounting portion is roughly an inch wide, so you will need that much space available on your bar (one of my bikes does not have that), or you may have to get creative and/or possibly sand down the sides of the plastic portion of the mount to sneak it into a narrower spot. Overall, a great product, seems very rugged.

4 Stars Great product, great price.
For the price, this is the best motorcycle GPS mount that can be had. There are other mounts that are more secure or solid, but you will pay much, much more for them.

5 Stars nice kit
I installed this mount quickly and easily and it works great. Holds my streetpilot 2820 nice and firm. The unit connects and disconnects from the mount in seconds to take with me when I leave the bike unattended.

Don’t buy the garmin motorcycle mount if you buy this, all you need is the garmin power/audio cable. I bought the garmin unit first and then realized I still needed another piece and bought this.

5 Stars Great mount
I bought this mount for my Garmin Venture HC. I like RAM products. I also purchased one of the RAM 2x magnifiers which made my Venture HC usable as an auto gps. The magnifier bracket was a little tricky to get the metal rod bent just right.

5 Stars very secure and versatile mount
This mount locks down “tight” to a flat surface and feels very secure. The double ball mounts also give you the most flexibility possible in deciding how you’d like to angle and tilt the GPS with a very easy to grab and turn locking dial. Fantastic build quality and I would highly recommend. Also the base mount can be replaced with any other 1″ ball RAM Mount for mounting to nearly anything!

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.

3 Stars Very Secure…
I bought this after I had a GPS bounce off the pavement. It is a real flexible and easy adjustable mount made specifically for the Garmin Nuvi 610, 660, 670 and 680. I gave it 3 stars because it comes in pieces in a plastic bag and does not include a part list or intsructions. You have to guess as to if you have it installed correctly and if you got all the parts you were supposed to get.

5 Stars Awesome
I’m able to mount my Nuvi 680 on my bike securely and ride for hours, even over bumpy terrain and this holds on like a champ. I highly recommend the RAM products to anyone that wants an aftermarket GPS mounting system.
