[NeOhiofan]

I have a 2008 Hayabusa.
I have a Garmin StreetPilot I5

I want to buy a Ram Mount to work with my Hayabusa.
RAM features gps garmin mounts for airplanes trucks vehicles motorcycles autos streetpilot quest etrex
Which one would work the best?
I want to attach it to the bolt on the middle of the handlebars.
Is this the mount I want?

If this is the mount I want is everything there I need? Or will I need to buy anything else? If so what will I need?

you might want to ask the captain how he did his.

I love the stem mount on mine. I know you have a Gen II, but it dont think it matters. You need the stem mount, an arm, and a cradle. Dont forget the cradle adapter,
RAM-HOL-GA22U.

If I buy the stem mount I won't need a cradle or arm. The Streetpilot I5 has a hole in the back that the ball will fit in.

Thats a cool feature, how do you tighten it down on the ball?

The ball on my suction cup mount snaps in place. Or is the size of the balls different?

This is an early pic, I have changed some things but the Garmin is still mounted like this.

 

[NeOhiofan]

What components did you use to mount yours?

Theis is the back of my GPS. Is the ball on the Stem mount the same size as the ball on my Suction Cup mount?

Or will I still need the Arm & Cradle?

 

[twotonevert]

The ball on the stem mount is a 1" ball. You may want to use an arm just to get the GPS unit up and away from the bars.

I have the Tech mount for my Zumo.

Bump!
I got my Ram Mounts today and not sure how exactly this part is installed

Can someone let me know this part of the Ram Mount is on their clamp?

above picture looks like its flat on the clamp but the picture is not a busa?


Thanks!

I have this mount on my Gen2; No, it won't go down that far (flush). You will still need the arm (probably the medium arm) so you can tilt.

Note, I have a bar riser.

Here are two methods of mounting I have used.

Both are very secure.

I bought one of these the other day, i don't know how other people have found them but in my opinion they need recalling. qpddd and i both have them and they are ill fitting and poor in design. I have ended up doctoring it to fit to my tank bolt.
