PERFECT MOTORCYCLE MOUNT

the perfect mount for my motorcycle. a couple of friends had recomended it, and I agree with them. The only problem that I had was, in order to attach my garmin nuvi 255 I had to snip off a small cross-bar on the gps holder in order to attach my power cord, but hey, it is still perfect. thanks, Bob

EXCELLENT MOUNT FOR A REASONABLE PRICE

I was impressed by the simplicity of installation, security of the device, and the fact that it's easily adjustable. The only caveat is that it isn't all that pretty - could use a bit of chrome. It also requires modification if using the Garmin power cord with the 'L' shaped USB. All-in-all, it's an excellent product. It's the first thing people comment on when they see my bike.

Pros: simply to use/install
Cons: could have been chromed plastic vice black
Recommend: YES

NUVI 2XX U-BOLT MOUNT

Very secure, able to attach nearly everywhere. I mounted this on my motorcycle and the RAM cradle is very positive. It grips my Nuvi very tightly and I don't think it will come off accidently. Its a great alternative to a dedicated MC GPS at a paupers price

Pros: solid, well made

RAM 465T MOUNT FOR GARMIN GPS

This is a fantastic product. It's very well built and engineered. It installs very well and it is very flexible in its design. I installed it the same day on my Goldwing and I could have installesd it anywhere on the handlebar. So far, it has not become loose and it's very easy to use. When I inadvertetely hit a big bump on a dirt road, the GPS unit remains in place. This a great product and it's worth the money.

Pros: a fantastic and an excellent product.

GREAT RAM

This is very simple to install, very solid once install and versatile in terms of positioning the GPS. The only thing I would have liked in this item is some rubber covering the ''U'' that attach to my bike... this way it does not scratch if i need to remove it.

Pros: cheap, does the job

GARMIN NUVI 2XXW AND NUVI 465T STAINLESS STEEL U-B

After much searching through Garmin and other product lines this proved to be an excellant solution for a handle bar mount for my Garmin nuvi 265wt GPS on a HD Electra-glide. I have now logged about 10,000kms with my gps held safely in place.

Pros: easy mounting options with good quality hardware
Cons: a little more range in the duel ball swivel stalk

EXCELLENT GPS MOUNT FOR MOTORCYCLES

I have search the web for GPS mounts and RAM's GPS mount was the best choice. It was easy to install, adjustable arms for best veiwing and very light weight. When you are traveling and stop for lunch or shopping, you can easily remove the whole unit with just the u-bolt still on the bike. I like the quick service delivery, next day.

Pros: light weight, easy insatllation, adjustable
Cons: none

This mount works very well. It transmits very little vibration from my motorcycle to the GPS. I used a rubber strip between the handlebar and the clamp to avoid scratching my handlebar. The height places the GPS at a good viewing angle.

SMALL PROBLEM WITH MOUNT

No problem with the installation. I got it with the power cable and hooked it direct to the battery on my 09 950 V- Star. Removing the 2 screws on the tank allowed it to be lifted up enough to tie-wrap the power cord in place without taking the tank right off. The problem was a small plastic bar below the hole where the plug goes. It does not allow the plug to fully seat into the socket on the Garmin. It is thin enough that its removal will not effect the strength of the unit so I snipped it off with side cutters.

Pros: easy to pop off garmin in case of rain
Cons: see above
Recommend: YES

BETTER THAN I EXPECTED GPS MOUNT

Easy to attach. Our GPS unit fit securely. Height of the mount places the GPS unit in a convenient viewing position and the design of the mount allows for fine tuning the positon. The GPS was easy to see even in bright sun light.

Pros: secure attachment. range of adjustment
Cons: caps to cover lock nuts do not have tight fit.

RAM MOUNT GARMIN NUVI 2XXW AND NUVI 465T STAINLESS

First of all the service from GPS City was excellent.The delivery time was as promised. Installation on my Goldwing was straight forward. The unit is very well made.

I read the reviews reagarding the problem with the "L" shaped charger connector and the minor modification that was required to make it fit. I solved that problem by using the 12 volt charger cable from my Etrex Legend CX. It is a straight plug in and has exactley same specs as the one that came with my Nuvi. I realize this may be added expense but if you happen to have the extra cable ...it works.

Pros: very well made
Cons: could possibly come with the optional visor
Recommend: YES

GPS MOUNT

I was surprised that a modification was required since I selected this item for my specific GPS unit. The bcak of the cradle needed a piece cut out to allow the cable to be fully plugged into the unit. Otherwise appears compact and sturdy. Just installed yesterday so haven't ridden with it yet.

Pros: appears sturdy and the gps seats snugly.
Cons: cradle needs piece cut out for cable to fit.

AWESOME GPS MOTORCYCLE MOUNT!

First of all I was pleased with the prompt, efficient packaging and shipment of the mount from GPScity. The mount itself is awesome in that it is very easy to install and can be mounted in any location you choose on the handlebars to be out of the way. The holder clamps the GPS in securely and is easy to plug in thru the hole in the back. I just completed the Rolling Thunder ride to THE WALL in D.C. and the mount performed perfectly.

PROBLEM SOLVED!

I was having a problem with the speedometer on my chopper. I realized that it was not my speedometer, but my speedometer cable. The RAM mount solved my problem. Use the mount, and let my Garmin Nuvi be my speedo. Works like a charm. And looks hot also. The satellite is a very accurate speedo. Again, problem solved.

Pros: easy installation, looks great

Excellent product,well made and exactly what I was looking for it's allwed me to use my run of the mill GPS on my bike, My only complaint with the mount, if it could be called a complaint, is the design of the mounting base, it could have been designed differently and made a bit more visually appealing.

FITS TIGHT AND STEADY, BUT...

The holder fits tight on the bikes handlebar and holds the GPS steady and securely. However, it is impossible to plug in the cigarette adaptor charger. The part that fits into the GPS is L- shaped, and there is a brace on the holder that will not allow it to plug in. It may be able to be carved a bit, but it should have been designed for the plug to fit work without having to do that.

Pros: secure fit on the bike and the gps unit.
Cons: unable to plug in l-shaped charger plug.

I wanted to mount a GPS on my Moto Guzzi but the cost of a new Garmin Zumo was hard to justify because I would would only use it occasionally. Since I already had a Garmin 205W in my car I only had to purchase this RAM mount and it works like a charm and saved me $700.
