Ram Mount Location For GPS with least vibration

[Maywannayamaha1300]

Question for anyone who knows. I have a 2006 A FJR. When I have my GPS/Mp3 player (combo unit) hooked up to a ram mount that's on the right fluid resevoir, speeds over 65 or so vibrate the gps so much that it has to reset itself (shuts down or pauses the music). Would there be less vibration if ram mounted to the stem nut?

I mounted my TomTom rider to the top of the suspension where the adjusters are, still working fine after 1000 miles or so. Not much vibration eaither. Photos are posted on here if you want to look.

I think you need:

1) Heavier bar ends

2) a Throttle body sync asap.

My Quest is mounted out there and it's pretty stable and certainly doesn't reboot.

You didn't mention what unit you had.

Yes. I started with a clutch-side RAM mount and actually vibrated the guts of a Legend loose. When I switched to a mount closer to the steering stem nut it was better, but when I rode Skooter's bike with a real stemstand there was no comparison and switched. It's the least vibration prone setup I've seen....and I have the heave bar-end weights and do scheduled TBS.

+1 on the stem nut, it is what I use and it is solid with no vibration.

I used the TechMount stem stand for my Street Pilot 2720. No vibration at all

Clicky

You need a 36mm socket and an 85 lb-ft torque wrench to install this

oster_stupid: Have my QUEST on a RAM stem nut. No problems here either!

What type GPS do you have? If it has a harddrive it won't work on a bike. Center nut with Tech Mount as mentioned seems to work great and has more adjustment vs ball mount. PM. <><
