Default Ram Mounts Rock!!

I've got a Garmin 265WT GPS for the car and I am going to use it for the bike also. Been researching mounts. After reading from you guys how good the Ram mounts were, I ordered this from Amazon.

http://www.amazon.com/RAM-B-149Z-GA2...9337936&sr=8-3

What a great mount, and it even came with two different sizes of u-bolts, a 1" and a 1 1/4". I was wondering if it was gonna fit my Fat Bars, but no problem.

It's nice to buy something that actually exceeds your expectations occasionally.

In my business, I use these mounts for all kinds of equipment. It is amazing the variety of mounts and mounting systems they have developed and sell. You can mix and match their stuff and come up with solutions on your own to improve the appearance or broaden the use. They are also reasonably priced and available at many sites on the internet.

When you move up to a full size bike you have plenty of room to do something like this. I can see why you might have trouble with your mini-bike though.

I got one for my GPS in January. I really like the adjustability of the mount.

I have one on my Zumo and another with a sealed box for a mp3 player or phone. They are inexpensive and work great. My Zumo is vibration free when mounted down by the risers.

I've transfered my Ram mount over to each of my last three bikes. Wouldn't be without it.
