Ram Mount Help for Tom Tom GPS

[gmarktbone]

I want to buy a ram mount for my wife's new gps so I can use it on my bike. After using the ram mount wizard on their website, It said I needed the bracket that cradles the gps, a thing for the back of that, a post, and a ball thing that fits onto the clutch fluid reservoir on my RT.

 

My question: There wasn't an option given for mounting it any other way than on the clutch fluid reservoir. Is that the only option? Is that a good way to mount these things? How long a post should I get? 1.5" all the way to 5" are the choices.

Mark, you don't need to mount to the clutch reservoir,, in fact that probably isn't the best place due to bar vibration,, possibly hitting the windshield,, & sticks out like a sore thumb.. If you mount it centered & low you can set your helmet over it at short stops & no-one will see it.. Here is the Zumo 550 mounted on an 1150 RT,, different unit but you get the idea..

 

 

RAM-B-238-TO2U ___For back of GPS cradle (might need something else depending on what your GPS cradle looks like on the back.

 

 

RAM-B-272U ___To bolt to handle bar bolt (9mm hole with a slight bend)

 

 

RAM-201-B ___ Arm to hook GPS ball to handle bar ball

 

 

You will also need a longer 8mm bolt & a short spacer to hook RAM-B-272U to the handlebar (a short piece of brass pipe works good for a spacer)

Thanks Twisty,

 

That looks good. Where did you get your longer bolt and spacer?
