May 13, 2011Perfect for my Harley,
I am very pleased with this GPS mount. It should fit all bicycles and motorcycles with the rubber padding strips supplied. The mount is sturdy with stainless steel nuts and bolts. No worries about torquing the screws tight.
The GPS which I’m using is a relatively inexpensive 4.3″ Garmin 265WT ($120)which I hardwired to the Harley’s electrical system. The GPS can be mounted directly to the ball mount using the Garmin bracket or slipped in the clever case (watertight zippered pouch) which comes with the mounting kit. It too is well constructed and has a slit at the bottom to allow for optional electrical wiring. A series of rubber pads (spacers) are supplied to stabilize the GPS in the pouch. Add or remove depending on thickness of GPS. What I really like about the case mount is that it has a tensioning ring to make sure that it will not fly off over bumps if off-roading. If you are going to hardwire the GPS, you might need a 90 degree mini USB adapter which can be purchased for a few dollars. It looks really nice on the bike.
In closing, it’s very good value and with all the research I’ve done, it’s the best solution that I could find. Pictures on request by emailing- pgarneau@sympatico.ca

May 13, 2011Bubba,
This unit is awesome and a great price. Just the brackets alone for the different GPS units cost more then this. I mounted a TomTom in mine. Had a down pour yesterday and the case never leaked a drop. Wish (I) had been in there!! Unit mounts easy. The Touch Screen on the GPS isn’t affected by the view cover. The Charge Cord opening on the bottom allows easy access and ability to plug into your lighter if needed.
