Phil1 Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 Does anyone have any experience of fitting a sat nav, or phone mount on a bike with clip ons? I'm really struggling to find anything decent for an SV650 with clip on handlebars as there's just virtually no where to mount anything. Ever since I've started driving/riding, I've always liked to set off with a plan in mind of a general area or a particular road I'd like to try. I know a lot of people just set off and decide as they're going along, but I generally like to have some sort of plan. A sat nav would be ideal for me as I can set up a route on my PC on waze, and then just go to my phone and open the app and there it is ready to go.

JRH Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 (edited) Have a look at Ram Mounts. They do systems to fit to mirror mounts, master cylinder fixings and head stem holes. https://www.ram-mount.co.uk/pages/components Edited April 6 by JRH 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Davey Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 (edited) Yes, I use a ram ball that replaces one of the bolts of your clip ons. The bolt passes through the ball itself, very neat and tidy. The pack comes with three lengths of bolt. Works perfectly. The shop has an absolutely endless (almost) variety.

All the brands basically work the same though so just choose the one that has the best attachment to your phone/ camera for you. I used UA as I put my phone in their hard case so my phones touch screen still works in the rain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Westerly Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 I used UA for a top yoke attachment for a Ram mount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil1 Posted April 10 Author Share Posted April 10 (edited) @Simon Davey No, I'm still looking. I can't decide what to do and I'm probably overthinking it. I've decided I don't like the idea of my phone mounted somewhere on the bike. It's better in my pocket I think as there's less chance of it being "lost" if I was to come off and it's got emergecy contacts on etc. I'd rather it be on my person if you like. I'm now looking down the avenue of a seperate sat nav and seen a tomtom rider with a mount on ebay, but realised I've now got to pay for the kids afterschool club so funds are low again . Anyone fancy subbing me? Edited April 10 by Phil1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Davey Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 I stupidly bought a Ultimate Addons phone mount and case, it's brilliant, but like you, I keep my phone in my pocket, and just mount the satnav on the clip-on mount. My satnav controls my phone so happy days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
