Just fitted the RAM satnav holder to my ZX6R 9F.
I had seen some brackets which attached using the petrol cap's screws but this was too far back for me and meant I'd have to tip my head down a lot to look at the screen, as the TomTom XL I have is old and doesn't have bluetooth I'm relying only on visual directions so I wanted it mounted near the clocks where I can just glance my eyes down and check without risking an accident!
I bought the holder and 6" Flex arm with diamond base from:
https://www.ram-mount.co.uk/6-flex-arm-with-diamond-bases-p-1031-c-149.html?sesid=9r7ffk6guo6r7jopooslajgh21
Was easy to mount by replacing the left screw securing the clocks to the frame with a slightly longer screw which holds the arm firmly in place.
There is just enough clearence (using feeler guages!) for the handlebars to clear the satnav.
I wired in the USB charger from https://www.buybits.com/product/sku_6132.aspx tapped into the rear light +ve wire so it will only work when the ignition is on. |
