$$$ GPS Accessory

Like everyone else, I was hesitant because of the price, but once I got it I understood why it's $30. That is amazing! I had the plastic version and it worked, but it looked and felt cheap. This aluminum version is beautiful! Mounted on the bottom of the handlebars next to the tree on a Roadking 07. Used with a Garmin 52. Perfect!

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • So far so good

Do not buy used offer

If you see a used item in a few days, DO NOT ORDER IT. I ordered one used and it arrived in perfect condition. The second used one turned up like new but lacks the inserts to adjust the bar size. It also looks very different from the first one I received, just like the picture. This one has a much shorter ball shank and screws in from the top instead of the side as you can see in the photo.

Pros
  • cool product
Cons
  • negative impression

Great mount for steering wheel accessories.

I replaced the plastic adapter with this aluminum adapter on my bike. My plastic worked fine but was bulky and this one is thinner and more durable. Pros: Machined aluminum, no plastic. Fits my Burly Brand Ape Hanger with a narrow base. Works with my Garmin GPS mount. removed without removing the steering wheel lock. Shafts of various lengths are also available. The clamp comes with several handlebar inserts for different sizes. Disadvantages: none

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Operating speed

Very good product. : car mounts

I bought this to mount my Garmin Nuvi on my Harley Davidson Heritage Classic. This item comes with two different spacers for use with different size handlebars. I used the larger of the two and had no trouble finding a tight fit on the handlebars. The round end fits very well with the Garmin mount - even when crossing train tracks, the Garmin does not give way. The aluminum bracket itself is very well made and also looks good. You can even remove the "ball" when not in use. Very good product.

Pros
  • practical item
Cons
  • without automatic

as strong as a piece of aluminum.

I bought this mount to attach a bike mount that was too small for my handlebars. I liked the holder (Bestrix Universal Phone Bike Mount Holder and it fits a standard 17mm swivel ball). There is no doubt that this mount is well made and durable. The problem I had was that all of the spacers (comes with 3) are hard plastic and didn't allow for the "custom" fit I was hoping for. If the spacers were rubber it would allow more flexibility with custom sizing (most road bars are 31.8mm so neither 30…

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Functionality
