I've only used this product 3 times and it's already broken

This product is really only suitable for bicycles and small motorbikes/mopeds. First, the mount doesn't fit my bike's handlebars even with the clamp fully extended. I had to wrap styrofoam around the cut mouse pad to attach it to the rear view mirror post. After a lot of trial and error I managed to install it but it hopped on me. Secondly, the window is not made of anti-reflective plastic. It was designed to be used with your car GPS, but the GPS was barely visible in direct sunlight, making it unsafe as you can't easily look at it to see where you're going. , each hit you land causes it to move down the mount so you can't see it. I have to keep reinstalling it while driving. When I tightened the ball joint it still moved when I drove on rough roads, but when I tried to put it back on my ball joint broke. Third blow. It's great for GPS but with all the issues of installing and using it I wouldn't recommend it for motorcycle use as it just isn't safe. It's good that I took an alternative mounting option for the GPS with me, otherwise we would get lost. I just put it in the trunk for a hunting license and pinned it to my back for my wife to show me the way. Get a GPS for a Garmin or Tomtom bike but that seems to be exactly what I'm going to do.
