Pretty good except for one thing...
By J. Callaway
I purchased the GPS60CSX and the mount for my motorcycle after my Garmin Legend fell off its mount and reading about the higher end motorcycle units having vibration issues. When I got this mount, I was a little concerned that the GPS wouldn't stay in it, I couldn't find anyway for it to stay attached. What I missed in the instructions (or they didn't say) is you have to use the clip from the belt unit that comes with the GPS60CSX.
Once the clip was put on the GPS, it clicked in solidly. At little too solidly which is why it gets a 4. I'm not too keen about leaving the GPS on my bike when I stop to eat or something, and taking it out of the holder is a little difficult. I guess that's good because it means it won't just pop out.
I have used, and still use, Ram mounts. They are solidly built and well constructed. The double-ball figure-8 design makes it pretty easy to put the unit where you need it. My only other complaint is that they are difficult to adjust while riding and using one hand. Of course, one could argue that I shouldn't be doing that also.
For safety, I loop the GPS lanyard around the mount so in case it does pop out of it's holder, the lanyard will keep it attached until I can pull over.

Improvised to Make It Right (Tight)
By T. Piquet
First time out was a flop - literally. The mount felt like it was securely fastened to the handlebars. However, after about two miles the mount flopped over and was hanging upside down. We have a very nice rail-trail locally. It's a decent place to ride, but in order to get to it from our house we have to bike about 3 1/2 miles on city streets ... a lot of which are in bone-jarring, teeth-rattling pathetic shape. Because of problems I've created for myself in the past by over-tightening bolts, clamps, brackets, etc, I was leary to tighten the U-bolt on the RAM handlebar mount any more. What I did to solve the problem was that I cut a small piece of rubber ... single thickness ... from an old bike inner tube and wrapped it around the bike's handlebar right where I (re)mounted the GPS mount. Now the mount stays put. [It would be helpful if the manufacturer would include a small strip of rubber along with the rest of the mounting hardware.]

Solid unit. Will buy again
By David Debaeremaeker
This product is solid and dependable. I have had it on my mountain bike for a couple months and have had no problems. The mount holds the GPS unit firmly and securely, and the flexibility of the mount allows for it to be positions so that its both out of the way, and completely accessible and visible.
The one word of caution is that the mount assumes you have the round piece that comes with the GPS. This is the small round bit that screws into the back of the GPS unit and is intended to attach it to the belt holder. If you didn't use the belt holder, and didn't attach the round bit like I did, you may be confused as to how the GPS connects to the mount. Luckily I kept the original packaging and had the bit. Otherwise this mount would be useless. So make sure you keep the round bit :)
I would definitely buy this again. It is well worth the extra money over the cheaper mount units.
