Title: MagLock GPS/Phone Mount
Post by: Scaffolder on January 24, 2015, 10:41:12 AM: I just ordered this item that was just created for our bikes specifically. It really looks like an awesome product. I won't get it until the end of February, because it takes a while to ship here. I am looking forward to trying it.

Post by: maxtog on January 24, 2015, 10:55:49 AM: Looks interesting, although I would probably want it longer to get closer to me so I could see it better and not block any of the dashboard.

Post by: Scaffolder on January 24, 2015, 11:40:00 AM: I just traded an 2012 FJR in on a used 2012 C-14. I won't be registering it until March. Bike registrations in Maine run from March- February. So it'll be here just in time for me.

With the track record from that area it'll probably end up at the bottom of the sea.

Good luck! He is very new to ebay, but should advance pretty quick.
I asked him today if it could be used in conjunction with Ram Ball and he said: "That will be part of the development but not too soon. Most likely available in March 2015 together with MagLock Mark II which will be a full aluminium die cast..."
So his development could go pretty good. I ordered this one, because I didn't like the looks of all the different ones out there.

Post by: Rhino on January 26, 2015, 08:32:32 AM: Cool idea! But yes he should offer it with a ram ball version. Then you can attach anything you like with it.

Ha ha. Plus with $40 shipping, you're not that far off.

Nice base design, but it needs a ram ball indeed. With the 'enterprising' minds on eBay, we might see exactly that sold by a US seller soon ::).

Post by: stevewfl on January 26, 2015, 03:38:27 PM: yup i agree, I can't deviate from the mad RAM system ;D

Post by: Scaffolder on February 01, 2015, 10:37:47 AM: He worked on his shipping issue. It is now $6.90 shipping.
