So you got a Garmin and need to find a way to mount it to your motorcycle. No problem. The people at Garmin have been good enough to design a range of Garmin Motorcycle Mount for just about every type of Garmin.
We can go through all the models on this site but what we have tried to achieve is a listing of the main motorcycle mounts for the various ranges.
Garmin Edge Motorcycle Mount
Garmin Edge has mounts for both motorcycle’s and ATV’s. There are two main types, the basic kind of disposable option which is simply held onto your motorcycle handelbars with tie straps, you may go through a couple so buy a few at a time. The second option is a more comprehensive model, this mount has a cradle to hold your Garmin Edge and is secured to your handlebar with a clamp… the basic unit costs around $12 and the cradle unit you can expect to pay about $17.
For the price difference, I would get the more substantial mount and feel safe that my Garmin will be OK while on or off the road.
Garmin eTrex Motorcycle Mount
Many variations are available for the Garmin eTrex range, they range by model number and by mount options, you get the standard handlebar mount, Brake Reservoir Mount etc, there is also the option to get a hardwire and mount combo which will be ideal for the longer trips where you may need to recharge your Garmin eTrex. Pricing on the various garmin mounts range from about $16 for a basic handlebar mount to about $45 for a twist & Tilt mount.
Garmin GPSMAP Motorcycle Mount
Once again, regardless of your Garmin type there is a mount available. In this range you have the options of a basic motorcycle handlebar mount, the handlebar mount with Twist and Tilt function and the clutch mount. on the low side of the price bracket you can get the basic mount which is about $13 or you can go for the high end Twist and Tilt option… which is what we would recommend as one position does not fit all, on the standard mounts there is only one position which means that if you a tall rider you may not get a good view or if you ride a super bike you may not see as well as someone who is on a Harley in a laid back position, Also depending on your speed also dictates your ride position and you would want to adjust the display view as needed.
Garmin Nuvi Motorcycle Mount
By far the range not only in Garmin models but also in Motorcycle mounts, it would appear if you are someone who likes options then you need to invest in a Nuvi best suited to your needs and be confident that Garmin has the ideal motorcycle mount for you, just some of the mounts include…
