Garmin GPS-V Handlebar Mount:

Review:

This is the second of three reviews in a series of GPS Handlebar mounts. The Garmin GPS V mapping GPS is one of the top of the line GPS's on the market today. It is a very versatile unit that can be used in a horizontal and vertical method. With owning this GPS we went in search of a handlebar mount for our unit. Our searches lead us to the GPS manufacturer, Garmin. The unit is a bit on the pricey side at a retail cost of $25.44 plus shipping. We placed our order.

Upon receiving our unit we set upon mounting it to our Test Quad. Mounting is really easy. Place the foam backing around the handlebar and clamp the mount to the bars with two small Phillips screws. That is it. we did however have to shave a few millimeters off the mount in order for it to fit between the handlebars and the Brake reservoir on our Polaris Sportsman 500.

Conclusion:

We like the idea of mounting our GPS unit to our quad. As with many accessories, the Garmin  is a bit over priced from the manufacturer. We did not however check around to price compare to hard. we are sure that one can be obtained for less than the $25.44 price tag.

 

Product Pros:
  • Good solid construction.
  • Thumb screw secures the unit to the mount.
  • Mount grips Handlebars well.
Product Cons:
  • We had to shave a few mm's off the mount to get it to fit between the Handlebars and Brake reservoir.
  • A bit on the pricey side as compared to other Mounts.
Overall Rating:

Highly Recommended
