big papa Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Anyone using the reservoir cover from RAM Mount for mounting their GPS? Seems like a cool idea. RAM's website says it works for 07. RAM-B-345U UNPKD RAM RESERVOIR COVER CENTER BALL Link to comment
gabentx Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Big Papa, I bought one today and will be getting it tomorrow. I'll let you know what I think of it after I test it. The whole unit (res. cover, arm, & cradle) was around $42. Link to comment
big papa Posted February 9, 2008 Author Share Posted February 9, 2008 I saw those parts and they seemed a clean and affordable option, but had not seen any comments on that fixture. Seems like I could swap out the top part to hold either GPS or MP3 player. Link to comment
gabentx Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 They have 2 versions, 1 that sits directly on top of the res. which is the one you showed (and the one I got) and another which uses the same screws but pushes it out to the right of the res. We'll see, I agree plus I really didn't want to have to drill a hole anywhere (i.e. Touratech shelf) and I didn't want it to far out of line of sight. For < $50 figured it was worth a shot.

gabentx Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Last One... So far it seems to be just fine...vibration isn't bad. It's the worst at idle (go figure) but after that seems to be pretty stable...it'll work for $40 to start with. Link to comment
big papa Posted February 10, 2008 Author Share Posted February 10, 2008 Looks like it would work for me!!! Thanks for taking the pics everyone!! Is that the 3" or 5" arm? Link to comment
gabentx Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Mine is just the 3" arm... Link to comment
