Hey all. Smile

I am looking for something for my bike today - The handlebar clamp 'upper', but instead of the original 1-piece clamp, I want 2 of the '2 bolt' ones... A little hard to explain but below is a picture to show you what I mean...

Instead of that whole middle bit (with the Honda logo, which my keys are sitting on), I want the 2 ends with the 2 bolts in.

this is so that I can put my satnav in the middle of the bars, instead of at the side.

Any ideas of where I can buy such a thing?

Karma Karma for best answer.

Cheers guys!

If you were dead set on something like that best bet would be getting people to measure the distance between the holes on various bikes and seeing which the same as yours most handle bars are 22m so then should fit. Failing that you could cut the one you have into 3 and throw away the middle bit.

What I would do is buy a Ram Mount kit. Mine came with an adaptor that fits over the clamp holding the brake MC on the sat nav is off to the side but I'm happy with it.

Does that middle bit just cover the top of the bar or is there something in the middle under it too?

It litterely just overs the bars, thats it. I didn't really want to cut out the middle part, just really so I can put it back on when / if I sell the bike.

Thanks though! Smile
