RAM, or "Round-A-Mount", is an incredibly versatile system for
mounting several devices. I found this system when looking for a secure
way to mount my StreetPilot GPS to my R1100RT. The mechanic at my
dealership showed me the RAM he had put on his own RT, and assured me that it
was VERY strong. I was a bit skeptical... anything on an arm like this is
bound to induce some torque, and I was worried that the ball & socket system
would weaken over time. But, the system was inexpensive, and was available
with a
suction cup making it easy to move the GPS from bike to car.
I wasn't hoping for a lot - just a satisfactory mount that would hold the GPS
steady. What I got was a lot more - The RAM system is steady as a
rock! I mounted the GPS to the steering head on my bike, and using the
standard arm, the GPS peeks just over the tank bag and just below the
instruments. The great thing about the RAM system is that it's almost
infinitely adjustable! Just loosen the handle on the arm, move the GPS to
the exact position and angle you want, and give it a twist to tighten. It
stays right where you put it.
Not only is it a fantastic mount for a GPS, it also works great for FRS or CB
radios, cell phones, CD players, video cameras... Just about anything!
There are four different sizes of mounts (the 'B' size, with 1" diameter
balls, works best for GPS and most other motorcycle accessories). We have
assembled packages to handle most common motorcyclist needs, but RAM mounts are
available in MANY different sizes and shapes, for automotive, aviation, and
marine use. The RAM catalog is available on-line at http://www.ram-mount.com;
