I heard this has a bad mounting system. Does it stay in place over speed bumps, etc.?

I've never had a problem with the mount. The only real issue is that it doesn't have a small amount of pivot like many other do, so it can be tricky to get it pointing dead-ahead. Other than that, it's been fine by me.

There is some truth to this problem. The light mounts with a plastic strap that is tightened with a lever (think of a ski boot buckle). The problem is that the lever doesn't really stay tightened, and you have to push it back into place. However, I haven't noticed this loosening going over bumps, etc., it's just that at the end of a ride, you tighten the strap again. A minor design defect and not a big deal. I like the light.

Hi!It's a pretty hefty piece of plastic and the mounts are very good, so no vibrations, but on a small scooter it may be too heavy. As for bugs and wind, it works for me, but I suspect that it would depend on how tall your mirrors and seat are and how tall you are. On my 150, it is as tall as the top of my helmet and I haven't chewed on any bugs since I put it on :)HTH!

I have had mine for about a year or so and have not had any installation issues. The EZ mount made an easy install, and is performing well.

Funny u should ask because I was going to buy that same bumper as well I haven't yet tried so to answer your question positively I cannot say but by the way it's mounted I don't foresee having any issues with it however this is also on a 2012 rubicon so I also cannot speak for a 2007 ....sorry cant help more but I wouldn't think there would be any mounting issues....btw have someone help u for the install or have a jack handy it is quite heavy to hold and bolt in at the same time ! Happy trails !

it depends on the mounting point you use. I returned mine due to damage it caused to the frame. Very poor design.

I've had mine for some time now. There does not appear to be any functionality issues while mounted or elsewhere.

The mount is not supposed to "stick" to the surface. It has a tacky finish to aid in skidding or slipping around. My experience is that if the surface loses tackiness is because the surface is dirty, as in dusty. A good washing off of the pad and a good wet wipe of the dash and all is good.

Mine is great! As long as you have a rear tire then you have the three necessary bolts to secure the rack. It does great at high speeds (70mph +). I would STRONGLY recommend getting it put on by a bike shop. It isn't difficult, but if your car is older they might need a torque wrench for good measure. STRONGLY recommend. Good luck to you!

It's been in my windshield for a couple months and I haven't had to reposition it once. It doesn't stick to my dashboard nearly as well as either of my Exogear Exomount car mounts though. If you're looking for a dashboard mount, get an Exogear Exomount!

It's very stiff to remain in place once you're driving. Just move it to the position you need, don't think you can break it. And do the adjustments before you mount it to your windshield. Good luck.

Its on the snug side but Im not sure it would hold up to bumps. It would definitely stay still on smooth surfaces like highways but I dont think it would stay motionless on bumpy or unpaved roads.

It doesn't mount. It's designed to sit on a flat surface. It's wide rubbery base is intended to keep the holder from sliding on whatever flat surface you put it on. It does accomplish this if the surface is flat and usually stable. Don't try to use it on a slippery, rough, or tilted surface.

As long as your ride doesn't originally run like crap, your suspension components are aligned, and your not dune racing, than no it doesn't make a world of difference

Mine does not shake, my mirror (clip on and original) are both securely mounted with no play in any parts, our car is also a smooth running Honda Fit as well so no excess vibrations from that as well. Overall very happy with this mirror.

I bought mine in August of 2013 and its my daily driver. Its still holding up like a champ. Check your other mounts to see if they are good. You may have another busted one and Its breaking this one. That is what happened to me. My transmission mount was busted as well.

It's not designed to stay in while you drive. With that being said I drive around town with it on all the time. I don't drive with it on the highway show because it wouldn't be good if it fell off at those speeds.

I ordered mine knowing it was a great deal on the box with a grid and the speedring. That being said, I had a pretty good feeling that the little "goose-neck" stand mount would prove inferior. Boy, was I right. I'll have to post a shot of what I did to mount it. Worked out beautifully in the end. I ended up using "U-bolts" from the hardware store and strapped them around the base to a big bolt flipped upside down. The rest went together no problem... the poles go in the pockets and then into the holes in the speed ring. The speed ring swivels; it snaps into place when you pull up the knob on the black ring. I'll post more later... saw your question and wanted to reply asap. Off to a shoot.... but if you try to support the whole thing with what it comes with, it is never going to happen in my opinion. There is FAR too much weight even before yo attach a flash.
