    Default Not another Ram Mount Thread

    OK, I posted this under another thread in hopes of high jacking it but it didn't work out well so here is what I need some help with. Forgive me, I am a little dense when it comes to stuff not computer related.

    There are several options out there but this is what I need:
    RS SM5 Mounting of the Iphone4 with a sleeve. Need to be able to see it of course but also not disable the touch screen. I don't need it to be waterproof "Aqua Box"

    Here are the options I have pulled from the forums:

    Mountguys.com:
    RAM-B-346U RESERVOIR COVER SIDE BALL MOTORCYCLE MOUNT-shipped screws do not work so you must use 8x32 1 1/4 screws for mount. This is a mount only, no holder.

    Can't find the holder for just the IPHONE4 from this site.

    Ram-Mount.com:
    UNPKD RAM MOTORCYCLE APPLE IPHONE 4-this comes with a mount and a holder but not sure it will fit and don't know if I need the 1.5 or the 3' extender. I would prefer to have it look as OEM as possible, don't like stuff just hanging off or up off the bike. Just looks weird but if it functions, I can deal with it.

    Zagg??

    I use the RAM-HOL-UN4U for my EVO. It's adjustable and you can mount it various places. I have mine mounted on the inside of my ESI riser on a 1" ball.

    I just ordered this for my Iphone 4 along with diamond plate and short arm. I'm going to use the 1" ball where I had my tom tom mounted right hand side on KM risers. I already have (2) 3" arms. I may swap the shorter arm for the one on my radar detector mount. It's on my Madstad bracket. Here is a break down of what I ordered and prices

    Ram Mount Diamond Plate with 1" ball RAM-B-238U $5.46
    Ram Mount Apple iPhone 4 Cradle RAM-HOL-AP9U $7.95
    Ram Mount Short Arm B-Socket RAM-B-201U-A $9.95

    The price on the RAM-271U-12 too much for me. $42.70 . It says fits 1 1/4 - 1 7/8 dia. Where are you mounting it? I already had RAM-231-ZU ($13.41) for my GPS mount. It fits 1/2 - 1 1/4 dia rails. I ordered all the other components you have listed. I got them in today and they look great installed.

    I ordered mine from GPS city as well. The mount I had for my iPhone 3GS works for my iphone4 when it is not in the case. I used it all the way to Chicago and back with no issues or problems. I also have the Aquabox and do not have any problems utilizing the controls thru the thick plastic. Somewhere in one of these threads I posted pictures. I will see if I can find them for you.
