Member Contributer Chromedome Posted March 1, 2019 Member Contributer Posted March 1, 2019 Hey guys, been all around this for over an hour. I have used RAM mounts in the past and do recognize the issue with the current one for sale as I had to deal with it with my blackbird. I'm looking for other options. I priced out the Techmount stuff but the pieces I needed came out to $81. Hoping to avoid that. Any thoughts? I do already had a RAM mount X grip I can use, I just need a stem mount. https://www.techmounts.com/products/index.php?application=Smart+Phone&make=Honda&model=VFR1200F&year=2012&page_function=mmp_search&x=72&y=10 Quote
Member Contributer boOZZIE Posted March 1, 2019 Member Contributer Posted March 1, 2019 RAP-B-354U for 25mm or 1" stem RAP-B-354-75U for 19mm or 3/4" stem I think that's the correct order , my brains a little frazzled at the mo 40°c for most of the day and several drinks in and switched off Cheers🍻 1 Quote
Member Contributer Chromedome Posted March 1, 2019 Author Member Contributer Posted March 1, 2019 Sorry, I guess I wasn't clear that I was trying to avoid the standard RAM mount for at least two reasons. Looking for the more fixed ones, not using that stupid rubber stopper that isn't sized right. Correction: boozie nailed it. The 2nd part number you provided is exactly what I'm looking for. One of the guys on this forum used to make them and this looks similar. I like the Techmount stuff but not for $70 more. Can anyone confirm that these work on the 7th Gen? They have one of these at Summit but it doesn't ship for months. I see one here too: looks like 7/8" is about 19mm and I think that's the size of the stem on our bikes? https://www.austinkayak.com/RAM-Ball-Wedge-Mount-Adapter-10-in-for-Atwood-and-FishOn-Bases/ACK10161P.html Quote
Member Contributer boOZZIE Posted March 1, 2019 Member Contributer Posted March 1, 2019 What kind of view are u looking for, ie stem mounts will turn with steering, a fixed view such as fuel cap or even a gimble? Quote

Won’t turn that much when riding at speed. Low speed maneuvering with your feet to back it into a spot sure. Mounting via stem stem can help to free up space at the tank for a tank bag. And places your device close to gauges so you can help keep focused on what’s ahead. Just my $0.02. Quote
Member Contributer Chromedome Posted March 1, 2019 Author Member Contributer Posted March 1, 2019 Alright guys, at this price I'm going to just go for it. Just about $11. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0031XC9ZM/ref=ppx_od_dt_b_asin_title_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Quote
Member Contributer Skids Posted March 2, 2019 Member Contributer Posted March 2, 2019 Telferizer. Having said that, it can't compete with $11. Quote

You may need an extension depending on the intended use. It works well, I've had it on for several years and not had to tighten it once. Quote
