SteveB Posted March 12, 2009 Share #1 Posted March 12, 2009 I recently bought a Garmin Nuvi 260W. I like the unit and going to use it on my bike when we go to Branson in May, and a longer trip in August. What type of mounting system are you using to mount on your bike ? Where on the your bike ? Pictures please. Thanks Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cecdoo Posted March 12, 2009 Share #2 Posted March 12, 2009 I have a nuvi 750 I used a Ram mount. The mounting point is connected where the left mirror stem fastens to the bike. Great mount simple install. Unit sits rite above radio control when finished. Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which 1 are you using ? Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cecdoo Posted March 13, 2009 Share #4 Posted March 13, 2009 The arm that attaches from the cradle to the mounting ball is 4" long. You just need 3 pcs. the ball mount that attaches at the mirror stem a 4" arm or longer if you like, but if its much shorter its not gonna fit above the radio controller, and a cradle for your nuvi.

cecdoo Posted March 13, 2009 Share #5 Posted March 13, 2009 Steve, I used Ram-B-252u base, and Ram-B-201u arm and then the cradle that fits your unit. Hope this helps. Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5bikes Posted March 14, 2009 Share #8 Posted March 14, 2009 Cost $0, usually made from scrap aluminum or old brackets I save. Clean, cut and paint to match the bike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
