What GPS mounts have you guys had luck with- specifically mounts for the Garmin line? Have the GPS units held up to the vibration? What other things should I know before mounting an expensive piece of electronics to my bike? Thanks.

The RAM mount works well for me. It is pretty versatile and vibration has not been a problem. It is very secure when tightened down properly. YMMV Lloyd Rauschkolb Gulfport, Ms. A14, A15 --- James Poore wrote:

Read up on it at: http://www.cycoactive.com/mc/default.htm Then buy their cheapest mount. The expensive one is a plumber's nightmare and doesn;t work as well as the cheap one. -- bierdo James Poore wrote:

I have a standard handlebar mount from Garmin that I use with my eTrex Legend. About $27.00 and works like a charm!

I used an A=Loop mount on both my R1150GS and KLR650 when I was using the Garmin III. Use the thick stickon velcro, make a velcro loop to help hold it when on really ruff roads. The unit is cheap, attaches to the crossbar, and small. I had to go to the RAM with the new 176 unit I use now as it has a rounded back and is much larger than my III. Works great also but just big.

The ram mount will knock off any harmful vibes you may get from the bike. Also a good idea to run a wire from the battery with an acc. plug for it. Be sure to inline fuse it. Aloop used to make a really great gps mount for the smaller GPS's like the 3 Plus and such but quit. ???? I have a new 167 and have the ram mount with extra ball so I can swap it between bikes rapidly. Talk to Tom at CycoActive and he'll answer all your questions on this stuff. He used to be on this list before he just go too busy. Andy Jennings, La. A14 R1150GSA

I've been using a RAM mount with an unhardened Emap for a few years, and have never had a problem. Krokko -- Dr. J. Christopher Krok John Lucas Adaptive Wind Tunnel Caltech MS 205-45, Pasadena, CA 91125

http://www.cycoactive.com/ram/default.htm GR26H They also have the separate cradle and bases if you want to mount it some other way. http://www.cycoactive.com/ram/ram26.shtml http://www.cycoactive.com/ram/parts.html They have Touratech too, if you want to go that way.
