Handlebar mount?

[+magking1971]

Anyone have a Garmin handlebar mount sitting around that they dont need anymore and would like to get rid of?

I bought mine from the local REI for $15.

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.

It is the Etrex yellow.

I seen some of these for sale at Target, I just don't remember the price.

Target had then for 15.00. This was in Michigan so check your local store. Price's vary.

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.

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?

I have a RAM Mount on my motorcycle, very stable piece of equipment, easy to adjust and there is no way my eTrex is getting out unless I take it out, or crash I suppose..

 

Highly recommend the RAM Mount, I use it on my mountain bike as well.

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
