Great mount. November 21, 2009 atlm (Atlanta) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This mount works great. I bought the RAM arm (elsewhere), bolted the setup to the bike, wired it to a switched 12 volt point, and was done. The system allows a lot of positioning flexibility, so I was able to get the GPS faced towards me and in the best spot for visibility.
The silver through-bolts look a bit unfinished when mounted, so I bought some black rubber vacuum caps for about $2, cut them to fit, and covered the ends of the bolts.
Well Worth the Price September 9, 2009 Jeff Stevenson 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I have used this mount on both road and dual-sport bikes, dishing out numerous cycles of on-road vibrations and off-road pounding. This unit is surprisingly tough but has a two flaws:
(1) The physical locking of the GPS unit into the mount is not as heavy duty as the Touratech mounts and the ability to hold the unit is eventually gone.
(2) The electrical contacts on both the mount and the GPS unit wear out and become intermittent.
Considering what I have put this mount through in terms of weather, vibration, and pure physical off-road banging around I'd say it is well worth the price.
Garmin Quest Mount June 1, 2009 D. Faulkner (Kansas) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This mount works very well. I've tested it on rough gravel roads and it's holding up well. Figuring it out how it installs takes a minute or two but once you have everything lined up it goes right on. Took me less than 30 minutes to wire it up on the RAM mount (which you need).
Quest Motorcycle Mount April 6, 2009 Scott S (Shawnee, Ks. USA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This mount works well. A sliding snap on the side securely holds the GPS unit to the mount. It does take a 3rd party mounting bracket (I used one from RAM which provides very sturdy mounts). I am concerned about possible corrosion in the future, as the electrical contacts are not watertight, but will worry about that when the time comes. I found the mount on-line for about $55 and would recommend it to anyone.
Too bulky to use on my motorcycle August 12, 2008 B. Slaughter (United States) 5 out of 6 found this review helpful
When I got it I was very surprised at the thickness of the item. When you add it to your own mount (since it doesn't include a way to mount to the bike), it becomes a huge bulky item. Apparently they have some electronics in the bracket. I returned mine unused. I will just find a 12 volt outlet to mount on the bike and use the speaker/power plug that came with my Quest.
