+NWMOhunter Posted August 5, 2003 Share Posted August 5, 2003 What model Garmin are you wanting the mount for? I had a mount for an eMap that I have never used. I bought the wrong one off of eBay. Quote Link to comment

gpsaccessories Posted November 21, 2003 Share Posted November 21, 2003 Guys- Be extremely cautious with garmin handlebar mounts. They are OK for cruising on good roads with a 10 speed but they aren't up to the task for serious mountain biking or use on a motorcycle. I've seen 2 things happen- they vibrate loose and if you are lucky you stop in time to grab the gps which is now hanging upside down. Or if you manage to crank them down tight enough they transmit shock and vibration to the gps and damage the main board and the battery springs. I reccomend spending a few $ extra for something like a ram mount, or get real serious and use a touratech mount. -Ed Quote Link to comment
STREETSEAL & G.I. Jane Posted November 29, 2003 Share Posted November 29, 2003 I use the garmin handlebar mount on my Dual Sport motorcycle, I do leave it loose enough to move it for glare. I havent had any problems. I feel the rubber dampens some vibration, but if vibration was an issue I probabaly wouldn't ride the stinkin bike. Just remember it is plastic. Anybody want to try to machine one out of alum? Quote Link to comment

Highly recommend the RAM Mount, I use it on my mountain bike as well. Xrider Edited December 7, 2003 by vtxrider Quote Link to comment
+EGMUNI Posted December 16, 2003 Share Posted December 16, 2003 VTXRIDER Can you help me out? I'm wanting to mount my Vista on a motorcycle and mountain bike,too. But, the RAM mount web-site is too confusing for me...do you have a part number that I could reference? I'm currently using the Garmin Etrex mount and I'm not too sure about it's durability or waterproofness(is that a word?) and that plastic back seems "pretty" cheap. I guess, what do you expect for only $12, right? TIA Quote Link to comment
