RAM mount mod
I would like to share a �hack� that I used to mount my SatNav to my XT660Z T�n�r�, which I think worked out rather well.
You will need:
Start with a decent quality golf ball. It doesn't have to be new, but we need the core that only the better branded balls seem to have. The cheaper, �driving range� balls are solid all the way through. Use a hacksaw to saw a groove along the circumference of the ball. Not too deep � only about 3-5mm, as we are only removing the cover at this point. Once you've removed the cover you should see what looks like a ball of rubber bands. Use a knife to remove the rubber band wrapping. This will leave you the core; a solid rubber ball almost exactly the same size as a 1� RAM ball mount. ![]() ![]() Next, drill a 12mm hole through the ball. I started by drilling a pilot hole with my smallest drill bit, then worked up through the sizes until I got to 12mm. ![]() Cut a slot with the hacksaw in one side of the ball, parallel to the hole of course, so you can slip the ball over the rail above the instruments. ![]() You can paint the ball to match your bike at this point if you wish. I used a sharpie to colour mine. ![]() Finally, fit the ball to the rail, then the RAM extension arm over the ball and install your GPS. Job done! ![]() ![]() (apologies for the poor quality photos) |
