Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of GARMIN 010-10454-00 Handlebar Bike Mount (for GPSMAP 60 Series)
Customer Review: Holds GPS securely. Won't fit well on large diameter handlebars
Summary: 4 Stars
First, mounting was tricky as the unit will not fit larger diameter handlebars very well at all. I did not end up with the position of the GPS that I wanted, but it's close enough. As for securely mounting the GPS? I've riden several hundred miles since installing it without incident. This includes a 17 MPH body slam (@#!$ wet railroad tracks!) that left me looking at my front wheel with sky in the background (pain starts here)but the GPS still securely in it's mount. I can see from the construction of the mount that there are weak areas that may be a problem down the road. Also, getting GPS in and out of the mount with one hand is a trick. All told, a good value.Customer Review: Works great on my off road motorcycle
Summary: 5 Stars
I've had this mount on my moto-x dirt bike, a 2002 KX250 that I use for enduro and cross country racing. I crash often and hard. This mount has never failed to keep my GPS attached to my motorcycle.
I read several reviews from folks saying this won't even hold up to their mountain bikes. No doubt they are unable to properly mount or attach something. Do realize the GPS has a substantial click/lock that holds the GPS in very strongly. It would never occur to me to use a rubber band as they describe to mount the gps. It's just not needed. Very strong and very reliable. It fits both standard sized motorcycle bars and fat bars too. No problems here!

Don't forget the rubber band!!! After purchasing, I took it out twice. The first time I used two heavy rubberbands and had no problem with it on my mountain bike...the 2nd trip I transferred it to my road bike, after purchasing the larger handle bar mount, forgot the rubberbands, and it popped out while riding down the road and a nice unobservant driver ran over it and cracked the screen. Not happy about the $15 dollar accessory I bought for my 60csx that cost me the whole unit. Bottom line, don't forget the rubberband, it's embarrassing that Garmin requires such a stupid detail for something it sells...Get it right Garmin, this product sucks as is!!!Customer Review: A perfect accessory
Summary: 5 Stars
If you have the Garmin GPS 60 and a bike, you should get one of these things. You already know all the benefits of the Garmin and this mount makes the ride even that more enjoyable.
The mount stays steady on the handlebars once it is mounted and the attachment that links to the mount is easy to use. Even with my fat fingers it comes off.
I did need to purchase a replacement for my original though since my bike tipped over and broke the attachment. This just taught me to take of the GPS before trying to load my bike on the rack. Which I should have been doing anyway.
A very nice add on to a very nice GPS unit.
Customer Review: Great Mount or the 60CSx
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been using the mount for about four months now. I go mountain biking 1 - 3 times per week in the Northeast (XC). Pretty hard stuff but no downhill - so I guess I don't pound it as hard as some of the hardcore riders that are posting. So far, this has been a very reliable mount - I have only lost the GPS unit one time. I think that I will begin using the lanyard as suggested by another rider. My biggest concern is vibration over time - will that damage the unit? The thing is built to military specs, so perhaps not. Anyway - I can recommend this mount highly, especially to road bikers, where it is unlikely to get pounded as much.
