Title: New RAM Mount added to dash
Post by: Bikebear on April 09, 2013, 06:39:51 PM
I bought myself a new phone so I decided to get a RAM mount for the dash to mount it. Got the RAM PD3U mount which clamps the phone top and bottom and has pins to stop sideways movement. I'm very happy with it.

Mount on dash without phone or GPS

The phone is a SONY Xperia Z 4G, water and dust resistant so it suits me fine.

I had it lying around in the shed after I removed it from a boat I had so I thought I'd put it to use. I did a ride last year and unbeknownst to me the battery was on the way out, it finally failed at Kingaroy and I was luck to get a battery that fitted. I guess its there so I can keep an eye on the charging system and to check the battery volts are up. Probably not really necessary but it fills a spot on the dash.. :wink1 :grin

Just had another look at the photos.. damn, you can see the clutter in my carport and my poor old Suzuki Freewind quietly mouldering away in the background.. I really should get it running again so I can do some dirt road riding.

Hey Bikebear , that's interesting  :think1 , on the way to Caldwell on the weekend I topped up at Ingham and on starting the odometer & clock reset the motor was slow starting  :well, but well least I got back home , chasing a new battery now , being a sparky I have Voltmeter sitting there , I was thinking of doing the same  ! Don't worry about what's in the back ground , it's a Man cave or shed remember ! Have a safe ride on Friday & I will keep a eye out for you on the way through . :rockon
