I want to install a gps on my Spyder rs . What kind of ram mount can i use?
I use their glare screen clamp one which I clamp on the side of my screen (Part No. RAM-B-177-202U). Mine came with a diamond mount instead of the round one but I can't find that on their site.
The bolts that came with it were plastic so I was a bit worried about it not holding but it's been fine - though it's only done 3k so far. I do have a lanyard just in case:-)
Reason I went for this is it positioned my phone just to the right of the rev counter and quite high which I found worked best for me. I did look at the bar mounts but that felt cluttered.
Just to mention that the one they do that fits the RT wouldn't work on an RS.
I also looked at fitting permanent one around the clocks somewhere. Couldn't find a flat surface that was strong enough that gave me the right positioning but I'm sure some one has found somewhere good.
My solution, with the X-grip you can swap things around. I also made a flat smooth 2.5x5x3/8" board, stick it in the X-grip and you can stick a suction cup on it if need be.

Reason: spelling
One of the hardest decisions you'll ever face in life is choosing whether to walk away or try harder.
Id like to offer an alternative idea, its slow at work today Do you need to see the screen that bad? i think they look hideous on the bars and since everyone on the planet has GPS on their phones for free, just get a bluetooth helmet and the girl will feed the directions right into your ear. Mine has the drop down sun visor as well as built in bluetooth and was less than a GPS never mind the mount lol
