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!
