Buy a RAM-Mount. I had to buy one to fit my RIDER on my GSX-R 750. Called them for help and the lady was really nice, and sold me the proper kit. The RIDER does cover my really inaccurate speedo, but that's no big loss. The GPS speedo on the RIDER is far more accurate anyway.

This mount is designed for the remote only. I use the mount attached to my motorcycle handlebars and located it near my left hand grip for easy access. Works great! But, getting to the release on the back of the remote to get it off is tricky and because of the design of the mount it does not allow connecting the remote to another power source for charging while it is in the mount.

My Tom Tom charges from the bottom and I am able to use this dashboard mount with no problem. My Tom Tom has a snap on type adjustable suction cup mount and the charging cord connects below this mount. My only problem is with the Tom Tom Sunction cup! The suction cup bracket would never stick to the windshield or to the plastic mounting disc. I have always used self stick Velcro to mount it to my vehicle even when it was brand new. I currently have a Ford Edge and I purchased this portable dashboard mount because I couldn't find a suitable place for the Velcro. This universal mount works fine for me plus I can remove it easily and tuck it in the seat pocket when not in use.

Its very easy to mount, it swivels too. However, it did not fit my handlebars well (I have a Cannondale 2013 Quick 2), so I ended wrapping 5 inches of fabric tape around my bars... perfect.

I would be happy to answer if you reword your question. I still have the mount and love it, so I can check and possibly give you pictures to answer your question graphically

I mounted it on the handlebars of my Yamaha roadstar to hold my phone. My speedo broke and I use my old phone with a GPS powered droid speedo program. It works great. Only drawback. Phone is easy to steal if you leave your bike unattended.

Hi Maria! After giving your issue some thought (and then playing with my cell phone to try to understand your issue better) I think I came up with a reason why your TomTom has issues with keeping it's orientation. Your motorcycle vibrates more than a car would. This vibration is being transferred through the mount to your TomTom and it thinks you are trying to re-orientate it from one direction to the other because of the stronger vibrations. My suggestion to you quite honestly would be to call a motorcycle dealership and ask them what GPS device they specifically recommend for use on a motorcycle. Because the TomTom cannot be stopped from doing this. It's great for your car though!

I looked at a couple of pictures of this Schwinn model. It doesn't look like it has the rear mounting posts that newer bikes have. Supposedly that isn't a problem because you can use P clamps to create mounting posts on the two tines or frame extensions that normally have these posts. However, I'm not even sure that the Schwinn sports world has two tines. (This wording is pretty awkward.) You may want to take your bike to a bike shop and ask an expert. You may only be able to use the time of rack that wraps around the seat post. I have one of those, and it works quite well.

Yes, the Bikemate Slim case can be mounted on handlebars. Further, the device can be connected to the mount either in portrait or landscape orientation. The mounting strap is long enough to fit "fat" bars. Overall, I'm quite happy with this case; it's well designed.

Is not a problem because between one bike go to the front the other go to the back. You always use the same mount.

Hi Brian. I just bought the mounting kit and is a great accessory. I was very pleased with it. I don't use iBike software, I use my iPhone with Sports Tracker software. Regards, Wlademir (from Brazil)

I purchased 2 pair. One for my motorcycle and one for my daughters car. My motorcycle i attached them to my highway bars using the sticky mount that comes with it and added a zip tie. On my daughters car, I took off the front plate bracket and drilled two small holes through the top and use two little screws to attach the mounting bracket to the plate bracket. Then slid on the whistle and re attached the plate bracket. Sounds a little confusing but not really. Hope this helps.

I had no problems with the mount. Measure carefully, use levels and squares, follow directions, you'll be fine. One thing at a time, do it right, move on to the next thing.....

I installed the helmet mount and it is solid. I've never used it, though, because the handlebar mount works just fine. It's the same clip on both the handlebar or the helmet mount. I discovered early on that you must be CAREFUL about clipping the light onto the mount. I was careless, and the light unexpectedly flew off its mount and landed by the side of the road. It seemed solid, but a few miles of bumpy riding shook the light loose. If care is taken when clipping the light on, it's OK. Several months later with MANY miles ridden with the NiteRider Lumina 700 USB clipped on, there has not been a repeat of the unplanned release...

A clip to the handlebar would probably be too loose and movable. It has a very secure mount with rubber pads, and yes it is tightened with a screw which has a large wing for ease of use without tools. However, the device that the clip holds can be removed easily by squeezing the clip handles to open it.

I saw recommendations for the suction cup mount but be very careful where you put it on the bike and make sure to tether it to either yourself or the bike somehow. I lost a brand new hero2 on my first ride out using the suction cup mount so I don't trust it on a motorcycle, but I've seen it on others. Your call. But like I said, tether system is HIGHLY recommended.
