Gents,
I've been looking at a RAM mount on their home page with a view to using one to mount my iPhone on the bike so I can use the GPS on it. I used their 'wizard' to decide on P/N etc and it tells me that I need a RAM-B-183U which mounts to the top of the brake reservoir. This confuses me somewhat as the kit comes with 4 screws but the reservoir on my ST (both sides) has only 2 screws. Before I order this bit can anyone tell me if this P/N is the right one for my machine, and if not what is the right bit?

Second question, I have an Evoline 2 helmet which is a flip-front one. Can anyone recommend a blue-tooth headset which will fit without interfering with the operation of the chin-piece? Most headsets I've seen seem to fit to the bottom edge of the helmet on the side, but because of the way this helmet works this installation method won't work.

Any sage advice from our resident guru's please??

Cheers

Whizz

A closer look shows 6 holes. 2 extra along the mid line

Thanks Brock, can I take it that the different distance between the two centre-line screws then fits the reservoir on the 2004 ST?

Should do, it would probably fit most 2 screw resevoir covers.

There is a link around some where to a replacement cover with either 1 or 2 RAM mount holes in it.

Brock, thanks for the info, I feel better about going ahead and ordering this bit. You mention a link to a replacement reservoir lid? any idea of where that link might be?

Roy, Can you tell me where you got the sharktooth thing from? was it local to you and can I get one on line?

Cheers all

You know I had the ram mounts on the bars for a few years, like for the GPS, phone, whatever???????? In my oppinion forget Ram mounts on the handlebars and get yourself a dash. Theirs heaps of em around, their probably the same price as a single Ram mount with ball and bracket and they work a million times better. Made mine for the SDT1100 years ago for a couple of dollars. Heres a pic. The GPS is in the same spot but the other stuffs been moved around a touch and theirs a Drift X170 camera now their. Hmmmm and you can see everything without having to look for it. Work everything without having to move about, and its all their in front of you

I agree with terrydj and this is on my to do list

Not that I need all that stuff in his pic. I'd be quite happy with a GPS and a camera mount there.

whizz if you want to see the ram mounts before buying then get yourself along to a Johnny Appleseed store.
They have the reservior top mounts and also the ones which go into the bar retaining holes for the reserviors.
If there isn't one out your way then when coming into Bris there is one in Ipswich Road about 1km past annerley Rd and 600m before PA hosp.

Just found this mount for a phone. Just clamps on the bars

Yes, I saw that on OCC last night too, but having had a good look at it I can't see any way to fix it to the bars on the ST, they aren't the right shape or the right angle, so I discounted them.

Cheers

py

I made up dash pattern out of perspecs as it is easy to shape. Need to get the alum. to make it for real.

Mine actually curves to the shape of the screen as well.

I have also made my highway wings myself and they will get a workout on Sat. 11th

I have a PDF available of the way I built me dash for the ST1100 a few years ago. Bloody so simple to do and it has pictures and it will save you heaps of time and crap

Brock · « **Reply #22 on:** February 09, 2012, 11:48:29 AM »

You need to post the pdf then, or email it to me, and I will put it up

terrydj · « **Reply #23 on:** February 09, 2012, 12:12:11 PM »

Oh nooooooooooooo then i'd have to read how experts would of done this and experts would have done that, and why didn't you do this and why didn't you do that

.
Nahhh if someone wants a bit of gear that will help em if they want to make a Dash for their ST1100 just send me a message, but no time for fools of self importance trying to make emselves important. Of course everything can be altered and improved????? but when fools do it, to try and make emselves look important it just S##ts me. So just send me a message with an email address
