RAM ball mount custom Install 2020 RT
I wanted to have a good looking Ram ball mount for my GPS and phone . I looked at my Ram handlebar clamp mount I have in my toolbox and also looked at Lamonsters solution. I didn’t want the clamp look and Lamonsters would drop the GPS or Phone directly in front of the digital gauges . On the previous RT the handlebar design dropped the center GPS mount lower, out of the line of sight of the gauges. So I took matters into my own hands and came up with a solution that in my opinion looks great , is strong and functional and the budget was not broken at $8.98....
The right handlebar trim piece is metal and had a large area of open space underneath the trim , between the trim piece and the bar which is not exposed.
Pop off the trim using your Allen wrench and drill a hole in the top piece which will be just large enough for a 1/4-20 1/2 inch long Allen bolt
DO NOT drill the hole while the trim piece is on the bar. There is a wire about an inch down that you could hit.
Here is the Ram mount and Part Number
Here it is with the Allen bolt and lock washer (Lowes)
Ok so thread the bolt through the hole and tighten into the Ram ball using thread lock and reattach trim piece .
Done.
And with the phone mounted
Enjoy.
