[QUOTE="MrM0t0, post: 849814, member: 20651"] On my YZF600r, I've installed a RAM ball in the capped mirror mount screw of the clutch perch for my hard-wired Nuvi 500. That tells me where to go. On the right bar the brake reservoir is held on to the forward face of the triple tree by a bracket, to which I've mounted a small angled RAM ball just by sharing the reservoir bracket screw. I have an iPhone mount there that I use to run an app called GPS MotionX. This app tells me where I've been. It's sort of a poor man's Spot device, but has more functions. I'm able to send periodic waypoints automatically to family and friends, my wife in particular, to keep them apprised of my whereabouts when I'm out solo. Say what you will about ball and chain jokes etc, but a happy wife makes a happier home. It also records your trips and you can share your routes on Google maps or Google Earth with other riders. It's cheap and fun. So I need two Ram mount points. The FJR is such a leaner, cleaner design that I'm having troubling finding good atachment points without drilling and tapping into the triple tree. So far I've installed the RAM brake reservoir single ball mount, but I've always thought that it looked a little klunky. I'm looking for something more appropriate and complimentary to the design of the FJR Can anyone provide suggestions, with a pic included hopefully, on how they've accomplished this? [/QUOTE]
