TroyBeck Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 I am looking to get a ATV handlebar mount and was wondering which one to get. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks ! Troy Quote Link to comment
+Kewaneh & Shark Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 Check out RAM Mount. They can attach a GPSr (or just about anything) to just about anything. I've got one that's held my Magellan Meridian to the bars of my R100GS motorcycle for more than 20,000 miles without a problem. - Kewaneh Quote Link to comment
+jeffNbama Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 I use the "Lobster" mount from Cabela's. Works great. I think they also have the "Ram". Quote Link to comment
eaparks Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 I use the 60 series Garmin mount, $16.95, on the handlebar of my atv. Is easy to read and operate even when moving at a slow speed. Probably not the most durable but for $16.95 I thought I'd give it a try. No problems or complaints with it so far. I do attach the lanyard to the handlebar as a safety precaution.

Team Sidewinder Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 I would like to mount my gps to my atv also but I worry about the constant vibration transmitted to the gps unit while on an atv or motorcycle for that matter. I ususlly just carry mine in my pocket and leave it on. Being it is a CSX it still does keep a very accurate track record. Quote Link to comment
+Kewaneh & Shark Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 This thread called 'GPSr Advice?, A slightly different situation than most here...' was started a few days ago. The OP has some of the same concerns you do, although a different machine. This is my post where I address different mounts and machine/GPSr vibrations. Hope this helps - Kewaneh Quote Link to comment
KSJohn Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 I also use the Lobster "Shrimp" mount on my ATV. Have one for the XL and another for the 76CSx. To me the Lobster is a better setup than the Ram, but that is just my opinion. I really like the part where you can use the cradle to hold the GPS while doing data transfer to the computer. I am not real sure they are still in business. I know after getting mine and then doing a review of them on the ATV site that I go to, someone asked for the web address. When I went to get it for them all product information had been removed and all it showed was where you could buy them from. I later found a write up that "Ram" had sued them over patent infringement or something. Quote Link to comment
+space_man Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 I use the bikecycle mount on my motorcycle and it works great. It always held on great even at higher speed and riding in the canyon even droped my bike once at a stop. Alex Quote Link to comment
+Kewaneh & Shark Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 Pick a color! NICE!!!! Quote Link to comment
+simplyred Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 I use the ram mount, no vibration and easily goes from my vehicle (suction cup) to ATV to my boat mount. You just loosen the extension bolt to unclamp it from the ball and place it on the other ball mounts. They have ball mounts that can hook up just to about anything. Bonus is my ATV has a lighter plugin so I don't use the batteries while driving. Quote Link to comment
