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.

hey whizz just bought a evoline2 with the sharktooth bluetooth thats desighned for them. have not tested it fully yet with intercom but conects to my phone for music. also bought sena SR10 two way radio that works well. will be testing intercom later this week with my wifes set
-
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 :thumbsup

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

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 :thumbsup
-
You need to post the pdf then, or email it to me, and I will put it up
-
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 |-i.
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

Yeah Terry sent it to me ages ago...It's an awesome read I've kept it handy on my computer. You should really post it here...If you don't want your name attached I'm sure Brock post it on your behalf
-
Ok. Just asked Brock for an email so I can send it as an atatchment. But I'm asking for it to be thrown in the bin/deleted the first time some boofhead wanker has a crack

some boofhead wanker has a crack
*Resists the urge to make a wise crack*
In all seriousness mate, it's an excellent write up, which you should be proud of regardless of anyone may or may not say. I found it extremely helpful
-
Thanks mate. Its just the idiots eh that make it hard.
-
You would be surprised at what I am capable of, I know I am.....
:rofl :rofl

Hopefully there are no idiots and / or wankers in/on here. The purpose of this site is to help each other out with fixes to problems. The fastest way to get no help is to belittle the efforts that some one has gone to to :-
1. work out a fix
2. work out how to write the fix down so others can use it, and
3. put pictures up so everyone can see how its done.
If some one with good/excellent tech knowledge can then see a way to do the job easier, then by all means let every one else know. but there is no need to run down the originator.
We wont tolerate denigration of any of the members here for there efforts, and any transgressors will be dealt with...
:well :well :law :law
Unless of course the denigrating transgressors are the sheriffs..
:grin :grin :grin

:grin :grin :grin
Haha...Do as I say, not as I do.
Edit: It may be a good idea to have a new section for These types of write ups and documentation.
I know someone here had a copy of the service manual on PDF which could also go up.
And I'm sure people have other guides etc.
-
Service manuals for the ST1100 and 1300 cam be found in their relevant sections, IE ST1300 or ST1100.
This document will be placed in the 1100 section.
Terry, nice write up, tho I think the self portraits are a bit much.... :grin :grin :grin
-
Well... sure...if you want to put them there, then fine...go ahead...see if I care!.

Haha no problems, I did actually look for a section for articles before posting, and was 100% there wasn't one. When you pointed it out I went back and found it. /slapsforehead

I am always after better ways to do things. Whether or not I use them someone else may find it meets their needs. A dash is something I am still thinking about, as for me I find having everything up there is better rtaher than on the handlebars. I know plenty of others who do it the other way though :p
-
Ahhhh so if someone wants some help making a dash theirs now a PDF on the ST1100 Workshop section, thanks Brock :-++
-
I am thinking of doing one in ABS Plastic instead of Aly, the thought of a knife blade at stomach height is a tad unsettling for some reason :eek :eek :eek
No problem Terry
-
I know someone else with a dash of some sort so will try and find out what it is and get pictures.
