Comment:
I bought this for my 2005 Suzuki Boulevard c50 motorcycle. Fits right in between the original risers, center on the handlebar. It rides a little close to the gas tank however that should get better after I install new risers. The plastic is a little flimsy(maybe flexible is a better word) but not enough to worry. The GPS placement is well balanced on this mount. I still loop the GPS through the lanyard around the handlebar before I mount it, just in case.

Comment:
This mount survived a week on the ICW including a 35 knot thrash up the Chesapeake Bay. It attached easily to the round hand rail above the binnacle at the helm, within easy view. It has 2 pieces, a handle bar bracket and a GPS unit bracket that snap together. The handle bar bracket has a rubber insert, so once it was installed, it was secure, and never moved or rotated. The GPS bracket has locking pins so that the GPS unit cannot accidently slide out of the bracket. The attachment of the GPS bracket to the handle bar bracket is positive and gives a loud click so that you know it is secure. It is well designed, and was sturdier than I expected.

Comment:
The bike mount is solid although.. whomever designed it... did not design it for a current bicycle. The bike mount is made for a handle bar with a 1" or 1.25" diameter handle bar. Something no one mentions in the specs. I'm not sure who makes a handle bar this diameter... but it's probably a late 60's bike design. I wound up pressing the spring pin out and only using half of the parts with zip ties to hold it onto my bike. It's a solid bike mount... if you have mechanical aptitude to make it fit your bike. For a modern design... it's not that modern. I don't think Garmin actually looked at a bicycle when they designed this. With the zip ties and mods... it seems stable and has made it through 60 road miles without issue. If you look beyond the handle bar issue... there is a shear pin / cam interface that is very solid that holds the GPS to the mount. I would think twice about mounting this on a mountain bike or anything that would see a minor bump in the road. Anything with even moderate vibration will rip this thing apart.... even after it has been re-worked to fit. Overall, 1 out of 10.. 10 being the best.. .I give this a 2. Since there is nothing else out there for mounting the 76 to a bike... your kind of stuck...If you absolutely need to mount the 76 to a bike... you can at least use 1/2 of this to get started.

Comment:
This product is stable and vibration resistant. I had to install 1" risers on my motorcycle to get enough room to install it, but that is a limitation of the motorcycle, not the mount. Once installed, I rode 360 miles, 120 of it on gravel roads, and it performed perfectly. I am very happy with the delivery, price, and function of this mount. I am planning to buy others so that I can move it from motorcycle to motorcycle. Note that I would NOT use this on an off-road dirtbike - carry the GPS on your person in this application, handlebar mounts of ANY kind are not for dirt bike shock and vibration - but on a street bike or dual purpose, excellent product.

Comment:
The Garmin Handlebar Mount just fit on my new Trek hybrid. Two pins cleverly lock the GPS (mine is the 76CSx) to the holder. Not as substantial is the plastic locking device that holds the holder to the handlebar mount, although I havn't had any trouble with it. The sealed blister pack that the Mount came in said "instructions included" but there were none. It was not hard to figure it out but it would have been reassuring that I did it right.
