RE: HD (Garmin) Quest GPS
I have the Quest II and a fairing mount. About 10 months old. No trouble with any part of it. I did put 2 pieces of Velcro on the back just in case it vibrates loose.
Love and I have the car mount also. I am a realtor so I also use it for business.
Leaving this Friday for the Blur Ridge Parkway. I will be programing in way points. I normally watch the mileage to turn indicated and about 2-3 miles prior I switch to AUX so I can hear her tell me where to turn. Kind of crazy if I know when to turn to AUX why don't I know where to turn?
Would buy another.

RE: HD (Garmin) Quest GPS
The Quest 2 has all of North America loaded so you don't have to keep downloading differnent sections of the country. You can get on for around $400.00.
This is the handlebar mount I have on my Deuce and this adapter I found at Walmart for $3.00 plugs in to the battery tender pigtail and allows it to charge and voice

RE: HD (Garmin) Quest GPS
The wife and I took off on a 300 mile trip about 2 weeks ago, but when I hit a rough spot in the road, my Quest 2 and cradle went bouncing down the middle of the street. I have used that setup for over a year with no problem, but for some reason that day it decided to come loose from the mount at about 40 MPH. The thing still works good as long as the antenna is not in it's normal (level Position) but one click up. It's also a little beat up now, so I'm using it in my Truck. I have replaced it on the bike with the ZUMO 450 and I love it. I have a 2 GB SD card full of MP3's and they play in stereo through the Aux port on my Ultra and the GPS directions override the music during navigation. Bust price I could find was $485.49 here with free shipping and they delivered it 3 days after I ordered. It only comes with the Motorcycle mount though.

I have the Quest 2 and bought the mount from Harley and the craddle from Garmin(part you sit it in and brings power to unit) I then bought a cig lighter acc. from Harley for about 18 bucks threw away the cig portion and plug in the rest to the acc. under my seat and then plugged the unit in to that. Now have a switched unit I can turn on and off. TheHD mounting kit will fit the Garmin with no modification...it's the same unit with HD stamped on it so it stands to reason that it should fit.Sunlight
is no problem even with sunglasses on.

This is starting to look like the cost is escalating out of my comfort zone.

You might want to check the pricing of the Quest units. PCNation is listing the Quest for $341 and the Quest II for $524. If you end up spending another $50-100 on cradles and/or mounts, you're approaching the cost of a Zumo 450 ($511), which includes the RAM motorcycle mount in the package. With the Zumo, you're getting a unit designed specifically for the motorcycle.

RE: HD (Garmin) Quest GPS
Another happy Zumo user here. I looked at the cost differential and it wasn't enough of a difference between the Quest II and the Zumo for me. They are currently $663.80 at http://www.pcnation.com for the 550 and $511.80 for the 450. I went with the 550 so I would have everything for use in the truck, as well as the Ram mount for use on the RG.

RE: HD (Garmin) Quest GPS
I got the Magellan Maestro 3100 for $212 delivered. It has one button, the on/off. The rest is touch screen. It doesn't have a cradle with little contacts that won't work with the vibaration of a Harley. It doesn't have a bunch of little buttons that you can not operate with your gloves on. I come with all the streets in the US and PR and 750,000 points of interest. It has the names of little dirt roads with two houses on them up here in Maine.
No, it does not have Bluetooth. I don't want to get off on a rant, but I think people should have to pass a test to see if they really can operate a car or bike while on the cell phone. And when I'm on my bike, I don't want to talk with anybody that doesn't have their boobies grinding into my back.
Ah boobies. Now where was I. Oh yeah. The short commings of the Magellan are that I can't see some of the information with out my glasses. If I want to hear the voice prompts, I'l need to plug in an ear bud. The screen really isn't bright enough for full sunlight. I'm still tweaking with the position. I'll let you know when I've got it right. It could use a little hole in it so I can attach a lanyard to it so when the suction mount lets go from the vibration of the Harely, it will still be tied to the bike.
