Snoopy182 Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 I have seen pictures on the forum of a RAM ball mount that goes into the handlebar mounting bolts. I was wondering if it was handmade or were they sold somewhere. Link to comment

Albert Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 I believe this is what you're talking about. It's a longer bolt with spacer that allows a ram ball to be mounted to it. There's some other options at this site as well. Touratech Link to comment

dirtrider Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Morning Snoopy Personally on the 1200RT I like the Ram RAM-B-272U ball mount best as it sits at a good angle & looks better than the straight arm lever ball mount. As to the spacer? I make a stainless steel spacer then use a longer stainless steel allen cap bolt. Lacking the means to make your own on a lathe you can drop by a plumbing store or hardware store & pick up a 3" long (1/4 pipe) brass pipe nipple then cut the center to any length you need using a hack saw. The brass won't rust & you can't see much of it under the ball mount anyway. (you can always paint it silver or black if you want) Link to comment
Snoopy182 Posted June 19, 2012 Author Share Posted June 19, 2012 Thanks - I just didn't notice that first link Link to comment
Firenailer Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 I used the B186 from whitehorse. You get a bolt through ball base (no metal bracket), 3 M8 bolts (55, 60, 65mm) the medium length arm and 1 diamond base to fit most holders. You just remove 1 handlebar bolt and install this in its place. Very clean install, just the ball when the GPS is off. It cost $29. plus the cost of whichever holder you need for around $10. It works great with or without a tank bag. Link to comment
