GPS

Can anyone tell me a little about this product and how it would (or wouldn't, perhaps?) fit on a motorbike's handlebars?

All info greedily accepted.

Use that and any RAM motorcycle mount...I use a garmin 260 and it fits pretty well in the case. I threw in some foam padding to keep it snug and avoid rattling around. The only downside imo is that my GPS is subject to pushing the wrong buttons on the touch screen. With the cradle, i find it's a bit harder just playing around with it in the house. Riding with gloves, I can't imagine operating it at all. I don't think i've ever bothered though.


I would also recommend using a short arm mounting piece. That might be though because I don't like things sticking up from my handle bars. I even switched my mirrors to extend down rather than up. They have a bunch of different mounts on there. Some are sold out so good luck.

I've only taken it out once. So i don't know how durable the front lense piece is. Nor have I ridden with it in the rain so I don't know how effective it is. It seems like it works though.

If you have money to throw around buy a waterproof motorcycle gps. Otherwise you can get away with something like this.
