I've been looking to buy an attachment for my bike so I can mount my Garmin when need be. Does anyone here know if any manufacturer makes one to fit this post? (connected to the clutch clamp just right of the cable) I've been looking around and so far I've only found ones that come with their own handlebar clamp. I want to avoid that if I utilize this! I don't actually know what it's for

I'm rocking the Garmin nuvi 1450T, if that helps anyone.

Ram make a ball joint universal mount that will fit your GPS...

If you could weld/solder a bolt onto the bottom of that and trim off the excess base?

If you cant weld, you could grab a bit of plywood that is thicker than the head of the bolt so you can sink the bolt into the wood, put a nut on the other side to pinch the head of the bolt down onto the wood so it doesn't spin when you screw it into the hole, then self tap screw through the metal base of the mount into the wood?!

Just trying to think of ghetto methods

lol I'd like to avoid as much "ghetto rigging" as possible... Or just fabrication in general

 

[Felix]

Fair call. Think you're going to be hard pressed to find a mount that isn't a clamp style.

Suction cup on the tank?

It's really not a big deal if I have to resort to the clamp-style mount, I just didn't know if there was something designed to use that post. I can't think of anything else that would go there?

Well in Aus a mirror would go there.

To answer your question on mounts there are a few.

If you are not using the threaded hole for your bike mirror, RAM has an equally good way to use that spot. Our new threaded ball base designed for the Victory Vision fits in this location perfectly and opens up a world of mounting possibilities.

The RAM-B-236U consists of a 1" rubber ball connected to a 3/8"-16 threaded post.

M10 X 1.25 PITCH & 1" BALL

Base with 9mm hole and 1" Ball

Base with 11mm Hole and 1 Inch Ball

With the last two option u just need a bolt.

Indie to the rescue!

Make your own with the GPS mount that comes with it or GPS HOLDER (suction cup style) then epoxy the NIO magnets to the base and cover with fabric so they don't scratch your tank, make no mistake with these magnets the GPS isn't going ANYWHERE unless you wreck at 100mph.

Anyone know what diameter hole it is? I could go measure but I'm on campus (without the bike today) and I want to order it now!
