Homemade center mount solution

[stebrock]

I purchased 2 Ram-HOL-UN7BU's via Amazon and BOXBAY LLC. About $25 a piece. I then trimmed off the 1 inch balls with a miter saw. Be careful to remove only the ball and just enough material to create a flat surface. You can then mate the two holders with glue/silicone (permanent) or peel n stick velcro. For the pic I temporarily used 2 sided white tape. I'll probably use silicone and remove entire mount when not in use. With the appropriate sized Ram Mount this method for center mounting would work for GPS, cell phone, etc. I like it because it's low profile. The Ipod is less than 2 inches above the handlebar bolts.

Oops!
Sorry couldn't figure out how to put all the pics in on post.

Make sure you're using the UN7BU clamp. It will grip the handlebar bracket securely. I've since eliminated the upper clamp and velcro the Ipod directly to the flat surface created on the UN7BU. Creates a lower profile and looks better when Ipod not attached.

That's thinking outside of the box for sure. Well done.

Not only is it brilliant, but I love what you're listening to on the Ipod!
