I want to mount my GPS in the triple tree pivot. Does Ram mount make a ball that will mount in the upper triple tree pivot. If this has been covered I am sorry. I did a search but could not find the info I needed. Thanks for any help !

Motorcycle Larry makes a nut that is threaded for a Ram Ball mount. That is how I have mine mounted.

I know that it's not what you were asking about but Murph sells these awesome Techmounts.

You'll have to add a cradle for your particular application.

I also use the Techmont. It works great, looks good, and is very sturdy. It can also be quickly changed to mount something else... even a ram mount. Very well designed.

I have the Techmount which sits a little higher then the nut/ball type. I think it would work better if you use a tank bag which I do on weekend jaunts.

I've been using the Techmount for 2 years now and am very happy with it.

The Techmount is great. Solid as a rock, well designed, good adjustablity, and looks good to boot.

OK, unrelated question
How the hell did you get that Vista Cruise on the newer C14? Did you have to re-work the grip or tube or something? I have one sitting in a box unused because I declared it impossible to install on the newer C-14. There simply is not enough room! Post response here: http://www.zggtr.org/index.php?topic=352 if you would.

Remove the plastic cap, use one of these http://www.gpscity.com/ram-mount-motorcycle-handlebar-clamp-ram-b-367u.html , and install a nut on the bottom side. Less than $13.

I'm looking to mount a GPS now. If you removed the stem nut & bolted the ball to the stem nut, how did you reinstall the stem nut? I hope that makes sense?

I have one of those Ram stem mounts on another bike. It works like the rubber drain plug in a boat. You tighten a screw and it expands inside the stem. It works OK but periodically get loose and must be re-tightened. The item sold by MC larry mentioned above is probably better. On my C14 I use a clutch bracket ram mount as I probably already mentioned in this thread.

I was told by two of the sellers of this part that it won't work on the newer Connies due to them having a hex head fork stem nut. You have to replace it with one that lets you slip that mount into a round hole, like Larry's mount.

You don't remove the stem nut. Just the plastic cap. Put a washer on the ball stem, put the stem in the hole, and put a washer and nut on the stem from the bottom side. You can do it with a socket and the right length extension.

Honestly...I looked the first time to see if you could get to the bottom of the nut but didn't see the hole in the bottom tree. I looked again tonight & yes while putting a washer & nut from the bottom is going to be tedious, I believe that is how I will mount my GPS.
Seriously...thanks a ton. I had just about given up & decided to order a Techmount. You've saved me $75 minimum.
I owe ya

Not true...this worked perfect on my 2011 C14

So, you just went ahead and stuck it in through the hex hole and tightened it up? Did you have any issues with it being tight at the top but loose at the bottom? Seems like that would allow it to rock

I like this idea but find that my long socket extension is too long and won't go in because of fender interference, and I don't have enough shorter ones to reach all the way up inside there. I need more tools for Christmas!!!
