RAM Handlebar U-Bolt Mount for Garmin GPSMAP 60: Setup FAQ

Frequently asked questions about the RAM Handlebar U-Bolt Mount

Will this mount fit my handlebars?

The RAM-B-149Z-GA12U includes hardware for rails from 0.50" to 1.25" in diameter. Measure your handlebar or rail at the mounting point to confirm it falls within this range. If your rail is outside these sizes, this specific U-bolt kit is not confirmed to fit.

Which Garmin devices does the cradle hold?

The package includes a custom high strength composite cradle designed for the Garmin GPSMAP. The product name lists the GPSMAP 60 series and indicates "+ More," but the supplied information does not specify every compatible model. For a GPSMAP 62, check the cradle's device compatibility before ordering; the mount's ball-and-socket base is separate from the cradle.

How do I adjust the viewing angle?

The mount uses a 1" diameter patented rubber ball and socket system with adjustment points at the base and cradle. With a twist of the arm knob, you can move the Garmin GPSMAP mount to your optimum viewing position.

What is included in the box?

The RAM-B-149Z-GA12U consists of a zinc coated u-bolt base, double socket arm, diamond adapter base, custom high strength composite cradle for the Garmin GPSMAP, and hardware to accommodate rails from 0.50" to 1.25" in diameter.

Can I install this on a motorcycle or ATV?

The U-bolt base is designed to clamp around tubular rails. The supplied information does not list specific vehicle types or safety certifications. Installation on a motorcycle or ATV is possible if you have a suitable round rail within the stated diameter range, but you should verify clearance and security for your own setup.
