Garmin 0101165407 Handlebar Mount for Montana/Monterra

• The first shipment of this item did not arrive and I submitted as much at Amazon. Requested replacement and it arrived 2 days earlier than the already quick delivery I was promised. I needed this for the weekend and it arrived on Wednesday instead of Friday I expected.The item is exactly what I needed. and it appears included anti-glare screen protectors.
• Its hugely large as compared to the mount I was using for a 76csx, somewhat over designed for a Montana but it is certainly suitable for the job.Incidentally, the box also included a packet of 3 anti-glare screen protectors for the Montana which were not mentioned in the product description.Update:To provide a locking feature seemed somewhat strange in light of the fact that the mount itself is attached via 2 easily accessible knurled thumb nuts. A thief could remove both GPS and mount in less than a minute. I replaced the thumb nuts with 4mm nylon insert lock nuts (41 cents for 8 at Lowe\'s) so that now, it at least takes a 7mm or 9/32 socket wrench to remove it or, many minutes with pliers. Also, the knurled thumb nuts didn\'t work out well for me because I couldn\'t keep them from loosening on rough roads without further tightening with pliers.The lock feature is a captured torx screw. Its a good idea to use a torx driver as a key because its easily replaced if lost and few people are likely to be carrying one even if they figured out that it was preventing the GPS from releasing.After a few months using this mount, I\'ll bump the rating up to 5 provided the nuts are switched out.For short trips away from the bike I do use the locking feature, then place my helmet over the GPS so as to make it less obvious.
• Bought as a set to ensure I got the right accessories. The Handlebar mount does not fit the Montana 700i. The screen protectors are for a much smaller unit. Would expect better than this when ordering as a set. We will see how their service is now. Hoping better than initial experience.
• One very clever feature to point out - the diagonal length across the four bolts that hold the garmin cradle to the garmin mount is a match for the bolt pattern that RAM uses for its ball mounts. I was able to remove the four bolts, separate the garmin cradle from the garmin mount, and re-bolt a 1\" RAM ball mount to the back of the garmin cradle (bolted through upper left, lower right holes) so that this could be used with other RAM products. I didn\'t want to use the RAM cradle for my Garmin 680t due to the reports of the roller popping out. This Garmin cradle is SOLID. I did have to purchase two new bolts/nyloc nuts locally to bold the garmin cradle to the RAM mount.
• Mounted my Montana 610 on my WR250 and I love it. I did knock off a star for two things. First, the security screw tool has a screw has cap that\'s already fallen off during a ride (I put it on my keyring). They could probably use a spring loaded detent that would be more secure. Luckily I found it wedged between my fork bolts. Second the mounting screws could be a bit shorter but nothing that hampered the attachment. Over this is exactly what I was looking for! The Garmin snaps in easily and leaves room for the USB cable. Good product.
• Works well but overpriced. There is another handlebar type mount for these, but it wobbles too badly due to the Montana\'s weight. Note that this is not capable of external owner, so the Montana runs on internal batteries. If you have some ANT devices connected, displaying the 24k topo or a custom map background, and 100% backlight (required for direct sunlight), the supplied battery quits before 3 hours. Using three AA batteries lasts longer. There is another mount for using external power.
• NOT COMPATIBLE WITH MONTANA - 700 Series.Eventhough I couldn\'t try it, it seems to be a low quality lock.Plastic doesn\'t fell strong.
