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.

Ram mount

Look on Amazon for the Atv/utv mounts. They are good if you want the mount on the handlebars.

Best solution for me was...

I have tried many RAM mounts for the '12 RS-S and the best one for me was the RAM-B-108BU.

I purchased it from amazon for around $18 and I use X-grip to hold the iPhone 6 plus with Otterbox case while riding.

Here's what I did..!!

regular handle bar mount..toss the "u" clamp and bottom plate and bolt it on... ran a power cord to it and works great...:thumbup:

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.

When I installed risers, I left about an inch and a half of the old bars on each end to fasten ram mount U bolt/ball attachments to the old bar ends.

Thanks for this timely post, I just got mine and am ready to put them on, what a smart idea!!!!!

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

(Hope that's right, most of my Dutch was limited to "Gelieve een ander La Trappe Bier" or something like that)
