Different Mounting Brackets

[SteveB]

I recently bought a Garmin Nuvi 260W. I like the unit and going to use it on my bike when we go to Branson in May, and a longer trip in August.

 

What type of mounting system are you using to mount on your bike ? Where on the your bike ? Pictures please.

 

Thanks

I have a nuvi 750 I used a Ram mount. The mounting point is connected where the left mirror stem fastens to the bike. Great mount simple install. Unit sits rite above radio control when finished. Craig

I am looking at the RAM mount. the way I understand it they come in 2 different lengths, long and short. Which 1 are you using ?

The arm that attaches from the cradle to the mounting ball is 4" long. You just need 3 pcs. the ball mount that attaches at the mirror stem a 4" arm or longer if you like, but if its much shorter its not gonna fit above the radio controller, and a cradle for your nuvi. Craig

Steve, I used Ram-B-252u base, and Ram-B-201u arm and then the cradle that fits your unit. Hope this helps. Craig

cecdoo and Christo,

 

Thanks for the info and the pictures. I'll be ordering the Ram mount for my bike.

Looking forward to using it on different trips this year.

Cost $0, usually made from scrap aluminum or old brackets I save. Clean, cut and paint to match the bike.
