 Fragile Product September 12, 2008
I used this product on my road bicycle. It's a terribly fragile. After a few hundred miles of use, the top loop on the mount cracked, allowing my 60csx to pop out. That's when I learned the trick of using the wrist strap on the GPS unit as a backup.
Thinking it might be a fluke, I tried another one. (Thank you REI!) It broke the same way. So did the one after that.
Now I just carry the unit in my back pocket. :-(
 Works Well September 8, 2008
I had read a lot of the reviews stating that this mount was nto stong enought to keep their GPS on the bike. I mainly do biking on roads and "rails to trails" paths so I am not a "rugged" biker.
This mount worked very well for me. No movement whatsoever. I enjoy Geocaching while riding my bike, and this was a great addition to me favorite "sport."
 Holds GPS securely. Won't fit well on large diameter handlebars July 11, 2008
First, mounting was tricky as the unit will not fit larger diameter handlebars very well at all. I did not end up with the position of the GPS that I wanted, but it's close enough. As for securely mounting the GPS? I've riden several hundred miles since installing it without incident. This includes a 17 MPH body slam (@#!$ wet railroad tracks!) that left me looking at my front wheel with sky in the background (pain starts here)but the GPS still securely in it's mount. I can see from the construction of the mount that there are weak areas that may be a problem down the road. Also, getting GPS in and out of the mount with one hand is a trick. All told, a good value.
Watch out for vibration with this one July 11, 2008
I have this mount on my Vulcan 1600 for the map10. It works Great!!! but.. The vibration killed the GPS unit after 29,560 miles, about 3 years.
Thats why I'm looking for something new now. Sturgis, S.D. is next month and I live in Fla. about 4,000 mi. Good Luck!!
Works Great, No Bicycle Mount Needed June 19, 2008
Just a note because I found this confusing when shopping for a motorcycle mount for my Garmin eTrex Legend cx. You do not need to purchase the Garmin Bicycle Mount with this product. Just purchase this large rail mount adapter, and attach the GP mount adapter that comes in the box with your GPS device. That's all you need. Haven't ridden with it yet, but the large Diameter Rail Mount Adapter fits my HD Dyna handlebar great. Easy to install, GPS snaps right in.
