Modest price is not worth the frustration of dealing with this seller, Lido Mounts. No response from seller when products did not arrive. Seller has possibly de-activated e-mail accounts; jim@lidomounts & Lydia@lidomounts and routes ALL voice calls to a voice mail box that is full 888-550-LIDO (5436). Voice mail promises a "quick response" via sales@lidomounts, but no response by the time of this post. Bet this review gets some kind of song and dance response.

Good luck.

I purchased the mount a week ago, had a little diffuculty locating a place on the harley tour bike handlebars for a mounting location. I eventually was able to secure it to the bars very close to where the bars mount. The diameter of the gps mount was smaller than the harley bars - by about a quarter inch. But so far the mount is holding the gps securely. There is little room for adjustment in the location.With gps in the mount the screen is fairly visible although there is the problem with sun glare when the sun/gps are aligned.
I used the gps yesterday while riding for directions. I was satisfied.
For the price which is is a fraction of any other price found I would reccommnend this item for purchase.
A further comment is I like the mount because it is small and "out of the way".

AFTER INSTALLING THIS MOUNT ON MY MOTORCYCLE, 2 WEEKS LATER THE PLASTIC BOTTOM STRAP BROKE.NO RESPONCE FROM CONSUMER ELECTRONICS WAREHOUSE FOR REPLACEMENT. WE WOULD NOT BUY FROM THEM AGAIN.

the device had no instructions included....and yes, it is a simple thing, but something could have been included, even just a picture or drawing. After attaching, it seems that it is difficult to get it really tight, as it has a tendency to "move" a bit when you put on or take off the GPS....and, being plastic, you could easily break it. It probably should also be suggested that some sort of glare shield be added, to make it more usable.

So far, I am very pleased with this product. It is very inexpensive therefore it is certainly not the best quality as it is made of plastic and the mounting device is plastic. Just be very carefull when tightening the wingnut around the handlebars as I could easily see the mount breaking. It did not with me but I took extra precautions. It is working great so far and if you are looking for an inexpensive mount, this one works well. If you have "a gorilla mentality" then I might suggest one that is more rugged and more expensive. I give it a thumbs up.

This GPS mount works great for the motorcycle handlebars! Have GPS volume through stereo, no need to watch, RIDE SAFE!!

fits with a lot of work on my Yamaha Venture. If you have an adjustable handlebar setup instead of the simple chrome U on most bikes you will have trouble mounting this. the rear of the clamp has a bulge that will make it not fit well between the clutch reservoir and the handlebar on many bikes.
