Selecting the Very Best Motorcycle GPS Mounts

Filed Under Uncategorized |

After you have bought your motorcycle GPS device it is now time to turn your attention to what type of motorcycle mount you will use to hold your GPS unit safe and secure while you travel. The right motorcycle GPS mount will save you money and time in the long run.

A motorcycle GPS mount will enable you to use all of the GPS’s features. You may think you can keep your GPS in your pocket but you won’t be able to use it safely without stopping nor will you be able to see the screen. Mounting it on your bike will enable almost handsfree use once you have put your destination into the unit.

The Garmin Bicycle Mount is an inexpensive option. The cost for this mount will be between six to thirty dollars [$6 - $30] based on which GPS unit you have. The Garmin bicycle mount does not contain vibration dampening capabilities, which is in a way bad news to your motorcycle GPS unit’s life, so you should only use this mount sparingly.

The RAM Mount is one such mount which fixes the vibration issue. A double sided clamp fixes the plastic cradle which houses the GPS device and a vibration absorbing rubber ball to your bike’s handle bars. The rubber ball is made from 1 inch thick rubber and does an excellent job of absorbing the vibration from your bike.

This option will cost you around $40, and you can buy extra rubber balls for the cheap price of $10 each. This will allow you to mount your motorcycle GPS unit on your other vehicles such as a car or truck dash board, other motorcycles, even to your precious mountain bike.

If you are looking for the ultimate in vibration absorption, then the TouraTech mount is the best option available. You will have to fork out about $100 but it has the best reverberation dampening technology that you will buy. So, if you take the protection of your GPS unit seriously, then you should take a look at this mount.

A Touratech Mount is the best GPS mount that you can use on your motorcycle. All Touratech Mounts are intended to be affixed to a crossbar on your handlebars, but they can be mounted in a number of cool ways.

It is definitely the most secure of all the GPS mounts available and is one that the enduro and other professional racers are known to use when they race.
