 		 Just bought it for wiring up power to motorcycle. Easy to install.

 		 This cradle should be on the front page of this website! The cradle is a Garmin OEM unit which will fit any StreetPilot 2XXX GPS. The included power cable worked perfectly for my BMW R1100RT. The connector is a nice tight fit, and the cavity for the connector on the unit holds it in place nicely. There is a slot which holds the loose connector when you have the unit out of the cradle. You'll probably want to get shorter mounting screws (I used 1" screws instead of the supplied 1-1/2). I have a gadget shelf mounted above the dash and below the windscreen. I opted to make my own mount out of ABS plastic which fit the existing mount holes on my shelf. After a little fiddling with the positioning, I have it set up perfectly. It's mounted high enough that I can see the GPS without taking my eyes off the road in front of me.

 		 I accidently got both this mount and the RAM mount made for the Garmin 2720, not realizing that they both have a cradle. 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 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 and (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 (GPS City SKU RAMB149-347).

 		 This is the only mount I would consider for your GPS. I will start with the cradle feature. The GPS sits onto two small tabs and then snaps back into two more dowels and then a metal latch snaps down and grabs a notch in the back of the unit with a metal tab. The latch also has red tape across the front edge to alert you when it is not locked down(RED=not locked, NO RED=locked). Then the latch has a small torx screw that can be screwed down so the latch can not be opened. The kit includes a small Torx screwdriver keychain to complete the locking process. This cradle has a molded in notch that covers the power cord so that it will never come off while the unit is in the cradle. Then when you remove the unit from the cradle there is another molded in holding slot on the back side to slide the power cord onto so it will not accidentally touch something and ground out .
