RAM Mount on GV?
« on: December 01, 2016, 05:40:58 PM »
Where's everyone mounting their RAM Mounts on their GV's? There's just no easy place to mount one on this bike.

Get the flat slotted ram mounting plate with ball that attaches to the top of the brake reservoir.  You don't even take the top off the brake reservoir -just replace the screws with those furnished. 

see this at amazon:  https://www.amazon.com/RAM-Mounts-RAM-B-346U-Motorcycle-Reservoir/dp/B003CMNXIO/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1480620033&sr=8-3&keywords=ram+clutch+mounts

So they give you longer screws and those screws are the correct thread and pitch as the originals?

Thanks for the help!

Yep- you get a variety of screw lengths- it looks like consistent thread pitches among the reservoir manufacturers (metric).  Super easy.

Thanks! I ordered one for my GV. Now I'll have RAM Mounts on almost all of my scoots.

Works like a charm doesn't it :)  I've got a friend that has one of those on both brake reservoirs and I think a different ram mount on one of the mirror posts too.

Hey guys thank you. I'm a new Grand Vista Owner and was trying to figure out how the heck to mount a phone. So thanks a bunch. I'm glad I came across this.  :)
