Hi John,

How did you do the cable work for the power. I know the cigarette lighter isn't the most elegant way, so if there are better options I would like to know. Is it hard to do, because I'm not an electric guy.

Thanks

 

It's listed as ram mount with 9mm hole and 1 inch ball.

I just used a bolt and lock nut through the mirror hole and painted it black to match.

 

Ok, clear. This is what I am thinking about:

So I need to tap thread in the holes while now there in no thread in it.

 

No this is the one I have

Just ran a bolt through it.

All that's left when you remove arm and cradle

 

 

I'm about to be doing the samething. I'm leaning toward the Harley Mount. 92378-09


If you search that number on the Harley site, It'll give you the pic.

I bought a mount from eGlideGoodies, as I don't like the RAM type. Too BMW GS for my liking! It is certainly worth mounting it off to one side, especially if you ride two up. I did that simply for convenience, then found my wife can see it over my shoulder. So a bonus is I get a running commentary over our comms, for example when we recently crossed one of the Alpine passes from Slovenia to Austria, warning me of each hairpin bend so I could be prepared and in the right gear!

 

LOL - listening to that is better than the alimony/maintenance I'm forking out.

 

This has got to be the cleanest & cheapest mount and it puts the GPS right in your line-of-site — drilling the fairing is not a big deal. I rarely have the GPS mounted and actually like the look of the RAM Ball. The only cost was for the RAM Ball, a longer 3" RAM Arm and a fused, marine grade cigarette plug.



Now you see it….



Now you don't
