Dash Mount System

[jthornton]

Opps, I ran out of the Dash Mounts (http://gnipsel.com/spyderstore/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=50). I have more in production and they should be back in stock soon. I was quite unprepared for the volume of sales. I've also added the Ram short arm as an option and they will be in stock shortly. I just wanted to let everyone know I'll have them back in stock ASAP.

Thanks
JT

[jthornton]

The Dash Mount is back in stock. I've also added the Short Arm B-Socket to inventory.

I installed one on my 14 and have my phone, camera and radar detector mounted from it with ram mounts. I ran power up the windshield mount hole throught the dash which keeps things neat. I like it up high like that as it keeps my eyes up where they out to be not look down as is the case with the GPS. Great idea JT, thanks again.

By the way, I used two medium sized arms and one long one to get the phone closer and lower.

JT, Got anything that will work with the Garmin Nuvi ball attachment shown in the pics below? I believe the ball on these is smaller than a ram mount, correct me if I'm wrong. I like the placement of the bracket.

The Ram Ball I stock is the "B" size or 1" in diameter. I'd bet Express Mounts (http://www.expressmounts.com/) has something to fit your Nuvi. About how big is the ball end? The "A" size is 9/16" in diameter. This is an "A" size threaded ball (http://www.expressmounts.com/ram-mount-aluminum-0.25-20-male-camera-thread-on-0.56-inch-a-ball.html) that will fit my Dash Mount System.

The garmin ball is called a "g-ball" and is 17mm

The RAM arm is the 3 inch model. I actually use this mount instead because it is a lot more stable than the "X" version: 85997 RAM-HOL-PD3U1

Anyone know of a place that sells the "G" size ball? or anything that will fit the Garmin Nuvi? I asked and Ram doesn't make a "G" size ball.

That looks like it will work. I'll get a few for my customers convenience.

I added the Garmin Nuvi 600 series cradle and the matching Diamond Base B-Ball to JT's Spyder Store (http://gnipsel.com/spyderstore/) as an option to the Dash Mount System.

Thanks for all the help in sorting this out.

I had some fun today with my GoPro camera trying to sort out how it works while I was making Dash Mount Bars.

I just added a new option to the Dash Mount Bar, Chrome Powder Coating. Here is a batch cooling off right out of the powder coat oven.

I love this setup, but don't own a RT. :banghead:

[robmorg]

Very cool, you have nice products! :thumbup:I agree. I love my JT Dash Mount kit. Use it on almost every ride. I've got my smartphone mounted to mine with the RAM X-Mount that JT supplied, as well as a waterproof 12V power receptacle to keep the phone (or anything else) charged. That's also where I plug in my Battery Tender.

When I looked at a RS I didn't see anywhere to mount a bar... do you have any ideas on where to mount one?

JT

[Johnny_Swindle]

I have a Samsung Note 2....5.5 inch screen. If I mount in portrait mode (up and down) will I run into any issues? Can mount in landscape but the GPS software that I use works better in portrait mode.

I have my Garmin Zumo 550 which is pretty tall over all mounted with the medium B Arm and there is plenty of clearance. What is the total height of the Note 2?

Ran out last week again but have Dash Mounts back in stock now.

Don't ride that around lighting. It looks like a strike invitation, or an anntnae farm. Holy Moses!:D

I finally got a good supply of brushed stainless steel Dash Mounts in stock. These are laser cut and very nice!

JT, have you ever tried to build dash mounts for RS? I have a 2012 RS and I'm trying to come up with places for a bluetooth speaker and a video monitor for a rear view camera.

Where did you get the backup camera and monitor? My brother is looking to get one to put on his tractor as he is having trouble turning his head to look behind.

They are all over the place and read reviews first. I got mine, see "My Mods" for more info. I got mine from Walmart on-line, pickup at store free. Amazon has a number of them. Where I put mine was not a good idea, hit a pot hole or something riding 2 up, ripped it right out. Also somewhat hard to see in the sunlight. I'd get wireless so running wires to the front isn't needed. I did run it all of the time, used as a mirror.

[jcthorne]

JT,

Any progress on the dash mount for the F3?

[bluestratos]

I made a modification to your bracket to allow more flexabilty. I regularily change opptions that I want for trips and found the bar a bit crowded at times. I used the one you sold me, traced the outline then added an extension at each end to allow for two more mounting spots for a total of 7 I think it is. This allows me to spread out the accessories mounted to it as necessary. The modification follows the same contours as yours so it lookes stock. I made mine out of aluminum since I could cut it easier.

I have been asked several times by other riders to make one for them but I told them this was your design so I could not do so. They may be or may have alread asked you for this larger system so just a heads up.

Thanks

Thanks for the heads up, while I don't have a patent on the Dash Mount I appreciate it not being copied. I'm happy to make one with 7 holes if there is some demand for it. Do you have a photo of your modification?

The ball on my Nuvi 65 LMT is closer to 11/16th or 17.1 mm or .675". I like your design thus many others would be interested in finding adaptors to make it fit & sturdy. Any other ideas for a source?? The dash mount will work with the F3's--correct??

The Dash Mount only fits the RT. I now have a B-Ball to 17mm Ball adapter.
