I'm trying to find a good RAM mount to fit on the stock handlebars of an 08 GS SE5. I've seen one on eBay that looks like it clips to side of the center mount. I'm looking for something that bolts on and is cheaper. Does anyone have any suggestions, or pictures of what they use?
I know this isn't what you're asking for, but just as an alternative, I have an older Nuvi 550 that I had mounted with a Ram handlebar mount on a 2-wheeler. I didn't want to shell out the bucks for a built-in GPS for my new/old 2012 RT, so I tried the RAM suction mount, which lets me re-use the rest of the original RAM setup. It attaches very firmly to the glove box cover and doesn't move at all. I haven't found the best angle yet, and it's not in the ideal central high position for viewing, but it works for the occasional glance, etc., that is what I generally need. It's a quick and dirty fix for now, at least, and very cheap and easy. I don't know if you have a glove box, but it will fit on any flat, smooth surface about 2-3 inches wide (I can't check the exact width right now, but it should be on the description). I got it on Amazon. FWIW.

This is what I did:
Chupaca had already done this with a standard RAM mount which gave me the idea. I just used the RAM mount that came with my GPS instead, it was designed to mount to motorcycle bars but I just added spacers and bolted it to the plastic as shown.

I've seen those mounts, and I could do that also! Thanks for the idea.

Is there enough room to still put in a 12 adapter? That's what I was planning on putting in that location.
Handlebar RAM mount.
