    Default GPS mount

    I know this has been covered somewhere, but I can’t seem to find it. Does anyone know if there is a GPS mount that is compatible for a 2013 RSS?

    I bolted a Ram rubber ball to the black plastic cover that is behind the metal handle bar cover.Then you can add any Ram mount that you want to the rubber ram mount ball.I have the gps mount and have no problems even at highway speeds.Take the gps ram mount off the spyder and you have just a ball left that is not that noticeable.

    I wouldn't use the mount that Can-Am sells for the GS/RS...Mine snapped in half while I was running down the road and I lost parts all over the highway....Thank God Firefly was with us and put his talent using 1,000 mile tape to piece it back together on my dash... Use ram mounts ,much more secure and they won't snap in half...

    That is a RAM mount. I noticed my Limited ST and RT came with a additional RAM mount in the box with the GPS. And this is a tough product. It is the standard 1" ball type.

    Thanks to an idea someone had here. I got the RAM Xgrip mount with the Helibar install this weekend. It's on a 1" ball on the metal handlebar cover.
