ram mount for violetsdaddy - fazer69 - 07-05-12
just read the ram mount post, i hope these help
Re: ram mount for violetsdaddy - violetsdaddy - 07-05-12
Yes, that helps a lot.
I'm looking to do what you've done on the centre yoke nut, how did you do that?
I've discovered that the yoke base has a very large rod that goes through to the top and has that big sod off nut on it. That means my old fitting designed for a tube won't work.
I also saw a suggestion for the ball on the bar holders but I'd be after something central.
If you've got a part number for the centre nut attachment that would be great!!

hi, i think it was RAM-B-349, I GOT A SPARE NUT, DRILLED IT & PUT A NUT ON THE INSIDE OF THE NUT, TO BE HONEST ITS A BIT LOW DOWN, THE ONE ON THE TOP CLAMP IS BETTER EVEN WITH A TANK BAG ON.

If it's low you can always use a longer arm on the ball. I've got two, a short one for no luggage and a longer one for when a tank bag is being used.

I popped my central mount into the vice and ground/filed off the base fins creating a nice flat surface.
I'll now have a near perfect central fit for the sat nav with the ball mounted on the bar brackets.
I'll post pics when I've got it fitted.
BTW week and a half to my French odyssey.
Hope it stays dry!!

It will be nice to see your pics, good to see how you do it.
