I like the fact that this is mounted to the frame and not the handlebars.Whatever you attach to the ram ball it will stay stationary. That also means the wires are stationary and are not being twisted around with the handle bars. That's my preference at least.So if you prefer the fixed position or just want to add a new farkle and couldn't figure out where to attach it, this will give you another option.
The material is aluminum 6061-T6. The base is 3/4 square stock and the rod is 5/8 dia round bar and comes complete with 1" ramball. They base and round rod are attached with a Stainless steel flat head screw and lock tighted. It is approximately 5" long from the base to the center of the ball. This will also work with a Helibar setup. Click

David,

Would you ship one to Australia? I think I have found my Xmas present.

Payment sent. Used "Personal Tab" under "Send Money" so you would not acquire any fees. Great looking product and can't wait to tray it out!

Oooooh!!! Damn!!

Davey boy you done good! That thing is the shizzat, man. Totally.

Big time :thumbsup:

OK, I caught my breath now. Here are some details that may help other folks:

The original prototype mount was only 3" tall (plus the ball). I mounted this on my 1st gen and first used the medium length (3") Ram connection arm between the mount's ball and my zumo GPS. It was OK, no interference, but just a bit too low for my tastes. I subsequently mounted it using the longest ram arm (5") and thought that the positioning was just about perfect. So I suggested to Dave that he make these at least 5" tall.

With the 5" mounting block you will be able to use the very short Ram arm (1.5") that is supplied with the Zumo or a 3" arm for the optimum height. But with the taller 7" mount you will already be at the optimum height with the shortest arm as supplied.

I don't see a problem as far shipping goes (USPS Priority mail ) with some increase in cost. I asume if you use your credit card with PayPal the conversion factor will automatically adjust. You can send me an email at [email protected] with details.

This is the longer version installed.

Dave, good of you to think outside of the box.

But I'm not sure I'd want that big thing in front of me if I went over the handlebars. Ouch!

This is why I ordered the 5 inch. Does not look like it would stick up near as much.

Yeah, I'm thinking the 5" would be about the perfect height.

But it doesn't look like it would be difficult for Dave to make them any height you want. The 3" tall mount works fine if you want to buy the longer 5" Ram arm.

So you've got balls -

Then I hate to ask ...

... something about polishing the knob...

Well I thought the title would get some attention. Not sure why Howie and Bust havn't chimed in yet?

That's why i took the picture from a level stand point. It actually sits below the handlebars and i assume something will be attached to it. If I have a chance later on I can mount my Zumo with the short arm and see what it looks like. Anyway if your going over the handle bars it may be a moot point. :dribble:

In no way am I trying to pee on the idea; I think it is great.

You may very well be correct. Having once highsided on another bike, I may be hypersensitive. But there is a reason Yamaha designed the bolts on the windscreen to break away, for instance. Personaly, I like the idea of a shorter aluminum bar with movable "arms" above. Presumably, in a worst-case scenario, various human appendages passing by would knock the GPS (or whatever), ramball arms, etc. out of the way. That solid aluminum round stock wouldn't budge. The ramball arms cobbled up the front isn't as clean looking, but may be safer in a get-off.

YMMV

As one forum member mentioned, the wife should be very pleased. :blush: :blush:

To be honest I wasn't thinking of a second application for these.

I pitched that idea to my wife. Noting that there'd be plenty of horsepower attached. She was less than amused. Ah well.

Nevertheless, a 3" might be nice. Don't wanna be upstaged by a mount, right?

Order sent. Excellent idea man. Can't wait to get it set up on the bike. :coolsmiley02:

Mr Bill · Dec 12, 2009

Thanks FJR4Me, postman just dropped off my short ball and I dropped it on the bike. Very sharp!

I moved my cell phone case to the new mount.
