Is that gonna work on the FJR reservoir?

That may very well be a good price - I have no idea. And don't get my wrong, I really like Amazon and use them frequently. But the one thing that they do that really pisses me off as it's not very honest is they inflate the 'retail' price so they can show more savings than is actual.

It should, this is the one their wizard suggested, unless I wanted the offset.

The RAM site lists it at $39.68

Thanks for the heads-up. :clapping:

Keep Going!

Can I take the reservoir mount piece off and use the rest with Ram-Bone instead?

 

[Joker]

According to the compatibility list this mount only fits BMW bikes https://www.ram-mount.com/Portals/0/Skins/NationalProducts/pdf/ramb182.pdf

Worth the price just for the arm and the diamond mount ball!

I saw that after I got to thinking about ETJ's post and looking at the pics. oster_oops:

I may have to make a base for this or find a different spot on the bike for it. Oh well, part of farkling is screwing up and at least this one wont bite.

I'll post an update.

I used the offset reservoir mount on mine

Ok, a question for all you gear heads. I have a Magellan Roadmate 3065 (I know, it's not a motorcycle GPS, but I ain't shellin' out the dough right now) that has a 1/2" ball. Is there any way to get a Ram Mount to work with it?

Yes. Absolutely.

I think this is what you need: RAM-B-101-MA4U

Thanks Fred. Ordered both.

 

[Joker]

Yes. Absolutely.

Thanks very much, Fred. I figured it out eventually by searching around. Some sites show the 3 separate pieces that make up this mount, so I can take the reservoir piece off and use the rest with Ram-Bone.

Surprisingly, the stuff showed up at the door today. Wasn't expecting it until next week what with the free super saver shipping.

I am happy to report that yes, using two of the six slotted holes, this will fit the FJR reservoir.

Price is now $33.90

So you got the correct one then? Mine isn't even close to what's pictured on Amazon or Ram's site. And I didn't notice this appears to be intended to mount on the left side reservoir. AE's don't have one. Double whammy.

It isn't a perfect match to the reservoir, but it has three sets of slotted holes and I'll be able to make it work, no problem.
