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
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
