MarvelBeatsDC Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Hi all, I was wondering if anyone could offer some advice, or links on how I would go about mounting a sat nav? Had the bike a while now and made do without but would be helpful to have one in the future, sadly I am not at all savvy with the bike outside of knowing how to ride it so I really have no idea where to begin!

MarvelBeatsDC Posted June 29, 2016 Author Share Posted June 29, 2016 That was quick! I don't have a specific model yet, just wanted to see how the mounts worked, what options were available etc. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer Grum Posted June 30, 2016 Member Contributer Share Posted June 30, 2016 Got a Garmin 350LM. The RAM Head stem mount works a treat, fully adjustable to any viewing angle you want. Used on both 6th and 8th gen VFR's. The only issue with this mount is to keep tightening the mount screw bit by bit, tightening the rubber bung within the head stem over a few months until it finally settles in, the base shouldn't move around after that! Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barmo Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 This one RAM-B-231ZU without the U-bolt will fit over the 2 bolts in front of the tank. Just replace the bolts that hold the tank with some longer bolts. The GPS will not move while you move the steering. If you use a tank bag, a longer arm can be used to raise the GPS higher. I use this solution on my VFR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use this solution on my VFR. Now THAT'S a good idea. I use the RAM-B-201U for my phone or GoPro and while it's up higher in line of sight it does move with the steering. Also have to awkwardly move your hand for to turn on the ignition/remove the key Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noahnsteph Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 I am getting ready to install this ram mount on the steering stem tomorrow night at our weekly bike night. It should be in my mailbox from Amazon as I type...... https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001RHVS8I/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noahnsteph Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Got the Ram mount installed last night for my Samsung Galaxy S5 Otterbox mount. I have a GPS Speedometer app opened up to see how it looks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
