Garmin Scooter Mount Review

Garmin Scooter Mount

Purchased this for use on a 1" handlebar (Harley Davidson) mounting a Garmin nuvi 550. The only problem is that the kit comes with 3/4 and 1" screws, which were not long enough to reach through the brackets with the handlebar in between. So I had to go to the hardware store and buy M4x1-1/4" screws. (Metric threads)
Other than that, the seat that holds the GPS in place actually uses a thumb lock to grasp the device. Very secure. The base with the neck and ball seem to be pretty stout. I had read reviews on other cheaper bar mounts that this is where there was a problem with breakage. I've only been out with it a couple times and the way my bike shakes it still seems to be holding up nicely. Yes, it costs over ten bucks but it's worth the peace of mind that my GPS won't go tumbling to the ground while riding.

Excellent mount, even more duable than I could possibly require. I use it on my bicycle. Can be used to add a host of other product mounts made by RAM. I added black electrical tape around u bolt to avoid any scratching. I highly recommend this product and will look to RAM first for future mount needs.

GARMIN 010-10454-00 GPSmap 60 Series Handlebar Bike Mount Review

I'm not sure why the other reviewers are so charitable, given that they indicate the product does not work properly without help from rubber bands. My GPS fell off twice over small bumps on the first ride. Imagine the horror of seeing your $400 GPS bouncing down the road behind you...
There is no reasonable alternative to mount the unit on the bike, so I will cross my fingers and use two strong rubber bands to augment the unreliable item purchased from Garmin. It couldn't cost Garmin much more to produce a good bracket mount.
Having said that, the60Csx is really tough and designed for abuse. With all the skidding and bouncing, it only has a few scratches on the corners. The display was protected by the design of the unit (it is recessed).
UPDATE: I found one that works! It's a bit heavy, but no problems with this one, no matter how many bumps. It's about $28 or so.
Search Amazon for; "RAM Handlebar Mount Garmin 60". You should find it.
