GPSmap 60CSx Mount

[pyro 1]

I bit the bullet and got a new Garmin 60CSx today. My old etrex wouldn't take my damn routes without truncating, nor would it work with a usb cable. I actually have an old computer sitting here for the soul purpose of being able load and unload the darn thing. Now all that is over 8-]

I was wondering if anyone has an extra handlebar mount laying around that they are willing to part with? If not, which one should I buy? Is the ram mount the best. It seems silly that it has to stick way up in the air like that . . .

Thanks ya'll.

((p.s. Anyone wanna buy a Garmin Etrex Vista and/or a good 3ghz desktop computer?))

Like the RAM but opted for the "replace one of the handlebar bolts" style Shock posted a while back. It doesn't have to stick up like that as it'll move to where you want it. I'd hardwire it too so it doesn't shut off on ya.

RAM - cheap and easy.....but don't trust the cradle for the 60.....put a zip tie or rubber band around the top of the GPS/cradle......

(note U bolt is for std handlebar width.....you'll need to order wider U bolt for fat bars)

or

Use mount with triple clamp replacement bolt to free up space on handlebar

or

Mount $7 cradle inside bar pad with metal backing plate as I've done on the WR250R "low, solid and centered" (following AKCooper's lead)

I have a RAM set-up that I really like. You can see it this weekend in Big Bear.

I opt for the $20 handlebar mount that garmin makes..REI has them....depending on bar diamater, they have 2 different sleeves for making it snug....It is low profile and easy, and I've had no trouble...but I don't ride as hard as most of you.....I always teather the unit to the crossbar with the strap AND I have zip ties on the cradle, so nothing can take off....

RAM...

I used to run it here... off of the handlebar mount;

I've since lowered it, and now attach the mount to my Cycra "solution" mount (much better);

RAM mount works great !

But the Zip Tie is critical......

Never lost mine, BUT after hearing about others losing theirs, I use the zip tie also.
