Worried about it falling off now and again?
Stick it on with some clear hot glue.
You can peel that stuff off later.
With the mount,you want the lever on the up(high) side.
Turn the whole mount 180 deg.
This gives a better viewing angle.
Fluffy should have pics of his rig.
His GPS rig that is.

Sorry for the small pic. They cshould be much bigger but no matter what other way I past the URL, I get the little red X's.

I too had the single ball, fork stem mount left over from when I had my CBR600RR. It turns out the neck of this little beauty fits right into one of the bolt holes for a reservoir/stearing arm clamp. I had to bore out the Ram neck to accomodate the size of the bolt neck. But first I went to good ol' Ace Hardware, where they had the exact length in the exact bolt to accomodate the additional Ram mount length. Threw on a stainless washer for good measure. Tightenned down as normal. Routed the power cable and hit the road. All I need is a better GPS.

I completed my GPS mount install. It looks like this:



And I installed a temporary voltage meeter to monitor till I figure out my stalling at speed problem. So the mount with GPS looks like this.



Blocked fuel gauge, works some of the time, I still watch the trip meter (old school). Blocked clock, who cares what fucking time it is. If it is light out then I use my tinted visor, if it dark then I switch to clear. If its wet then I put on rain gear. If I think I am late, go faster....
The glass is not half full, it was engineered with a 2X safety factor.
