The versitility of RAM Mount products is awesome. As long as you have some space on your handle bars, you could use a RAM Mount for any accessery that you carry with you on a Motorcycle, ATV or even Bicycles. This is my 2nd RAM mount on my ATV and there is no better way to get the things you need at your fingertips than with a RAM Mount.

This bolted right on to my V-Strom motorcycle handlebar and carries a cradle for a GPS. Great range of motion and position is easy to adjust with single knob, even with gloved hand. It has good range of adjustment. The only thing that would be better would be if it were easier to adjust the position with one hand while riding, but that's just a nit and its probably a good idea that I can't.

I love my Garmin Nuvi GPS. This RAM mount allows you to use your GPS on your motorcycle. Holds the GPS securely in place (with the proper cradle for your unit). I have used it with both a Nuvi 360 and a Nuvi 765. Works great!

This is the second RAM mount I've purchased. It's being used to hold a Garmin 2720.
Easy to install and once adjusted stays put. The mount on my wife's Harley hasn't moved in two years. Over 25,000 miles with the actual GPS being snapped in and out to many times to count.

The new mount went on my H-D Road Glide. I thought that I'd have a hard time finding a good location for my GPS, but the RAM mount has enough swivel room to place the screen right where I needed it.

IIRC the mount showed up 3-4 days after I placed the order. Great service through Amazon and I believe it was GPS City.

I purchased this RAM mount to allow me to use my Garmin GPS on my Honda Goldwing. It provides a firm, yet portable mounting platform for the GPS. I would recommend this product.

Own 2 of these. Got this one for brother. They work perfect on motorcycle. Ram makes the best products. I have had mine for 3 years now. It protected my phone during an accident. Phone grip is very solid and protective.

This thing is an awesome addition on my Harley Lowrider. I can now mount my cell phone or my gps in plain view on my Harley. Makes riding much more enjoyable! High quality like all R.A.M. products!!! Must have!!

I purchased this mount, along with the Universal Finger Grip Holder RAM Mounting Systems RAM-HOL-UN4U Universal Finger Grip Holder back in July, and it's been the PERFECT solution for my Otterbox-clad iPhone 4 and my '97 Sportster. The handlebar mount is VERY secure on my handlebars, and it's been VERY easy to adjust the arm (once installed), to find the perfect spot for the phone.

No special tools were needed to install it, just an open-end box wrench or an adjustable wrench. Field adjustments to the arm just need your fingers (even easy when wearing gloves).

I was seriously impressed by the quality of construction on this RAM handlebar mount. Just about everything is metal. With the arm in place, it stays still when clamped down, even after many days of hard riding on rough surfaces. This thing is a steal for the $30-some I paid for it. Plus, its easy to switch cradles, which are also constructed very well and are inexpensive. My only complaint is that the hardware is inch instead of metric. I run an import bike, so its one more tool I have to carry.

Overall, the RAM mount and cradle setup lets me run an automotive GPS, easily saving me $200 over a motorcycle specific GPS like the TomTom Rider or Garmin Zumo. As far as waterproofing, a clear plastic bag and a rubber band do the trick, and I can still see and work the GPS through the plastic!

My previous holder was made of plastic and broke where it was clamped to the handlebar. This is all metal and made very solid. Installation was easy. The standard Rammount holders fit so that makes it easy to upgrade your GPS and just buy a new holder instead of the entire mount.
